What is UHTML file?

The file with the extension UHTML is the Web Files file type. In addition to this file, the Web Files category includes 303 related files. UHTML Document Format appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use Windows Notepad to handle this file. This is a program created by Microsoft Corporation. This file type can also be opened by 6 other programs. The Opera, Mozilla Firefox, NotePad++ text editor, Microsoft Internet Explorer programs will also handle the file when the Windows Notepad program does not fulfill its role.

How to open UHTML file?

The most common problem when using UHTML Document Format is that a specific UHTML is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open UHTML, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UHTML file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Windows Notepad

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Windows Notepad is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Windows Notepad into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open UHTML files.

Step 2. Create association of Windows Notepad with UHTML files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the UHTML file still does not use the Windows Notepad program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the UHTML file with the Windows Notepad program.

Step 3. Update Windows Notepad to the latest version

If, however, after binding Windows Notepad with UHTML Document Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UHTML file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the UHTML file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our UHTML file. Sometimes virus-infected UHTML files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the UHTML files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged UHTML files. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted UHTML files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the UHTML file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the UHTML file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
