How to open UUM file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UUM 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 Minuum Keyboard

Programs to open UUM file
Remember to download programs supporting UUM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Minuum Keyboard with UUM files
If, despite the installed application, the UUM file does not start in the Minuum Keyboard application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Minuum Keyboard application as the default for handling the UUM file.
Step 3. Update Minuum Keyboard to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Minuum Keyboard program with the Minuum Keyboard Backup Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Whirlscape page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UUM file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to UUM 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file UUM or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected UUM 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 UUM 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged UUM 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.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file UUM except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move UUM to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the UUM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the UUM file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
