The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 UTXT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected UTXT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.

This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the UTXT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the UTXT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
