What is UIR file?
The UIR file has been categorized as Misc Files. The author of this format is National Instruments Corporation. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files.

The main program that supports this format is LabWindows. This was created by National Instruments Corporation.
How to open UIR file?
The most common problem when using LabWindows User Interface Resource is that a specific UIR is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that UIR files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UIR 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 LabWindows
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that LabWindows is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name LabWindows into the 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 UIR files.
Programs to open UIR file
Remember to download programs supporting UIR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LabWindows with UIR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the UIR file to open in the LabWindows application, but you can set it manually. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the LabWindows application as the default for handling the UIR file.
Step 3. Update LabWindows to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the LabWindows program, it is possible that LabWindows User Interface Resource requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the National Instruments Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UIR file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The UIR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to UIR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our UIR file. However, remember that not every infected UIR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of UIR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair UIR file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting National Instruments Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted UIR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the UIR file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the UIR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the UIR file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
