How to open UMC file?
An often recurring problem with SIMPL Application Format is that UMC is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open UMC, 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 UMC 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 SIMPL Windows
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SIMPL Windows is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing SIMPL Windows into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file UMC with SIMPL Windows. Below is a list of programs that support the file UMC.
Programs to open UMC file
Remember to download programs supporting UMC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SIMPL Windows with UMC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the UMC file still does not use the SIMPL Windows program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 UMC file with the SIMPL Windows program.
Step 3. Update SIMPL Windows to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the SIMPL Windows program, it is possible that SIMPL Application Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Crestron Electronics, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UMC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to UMC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the UMC file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover UMC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of UMC 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 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 UMC files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted UMC 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. It is best to move UMC to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the UMC file again. 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.
