How to open UV2 file?

The main problem with µVision Project is that the UV2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that UV2 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UV2 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the program installed. This can be achieved by typing into the operating system search engine. 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 UV2 files.

Programs to open UV2 file

Remember to download programs supporting UV2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of with UV2 files

If, despite the installed application, the UV2 file does not start in the 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. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the UV2 file with the application.

Step 3. Update to the latest version

If, however, after binding with µVision Project there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UV2 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to UV2 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 UV2 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected UV2 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 UV2 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair UV2 file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted UV2 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the UV2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the UV2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file UV2 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
