The UIS file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the UIS files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the UIS file on each system platform.
What is UIS file?
The file with the extension UIS is the Settings Files file type. The creator of this file is Stardock. Additionally, the Settings Files category contains 1305 of other files. WindowBlinds User Interface Specification is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is WindowBlinds. This was created by Stardock Corporation. This file type can also be opened by 1 other programs. The Skin Studio programs will also handle the file when the WindowBlinds program does not fulfill its role.
How to open UIS file?
An often recurring problem with WindowBlinds User Interface Specification is that UIS is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that UIS 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 UIS 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 WindowBlinds
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WindowBlinds is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name WindowBlinds in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support UIS files.
Programs to open UIS file
Remember to download programs supporting UIS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WindowBlinds with UIS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the UIS file to open in the WindowBlinds application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WindowBlinds application as the default for handling the UIS file.
Step 3. Update WindowBlinds to the latest version
If, however, after binding WindowBlinds with WindowBlinds User Interface Specification 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 Stardock Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UIS file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The UIS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to UIS 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file UIS or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected UIS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the UIS files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged UIS files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Stardock help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted UIS 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the UIS 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 you have to wait for the session to the file UIS to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
