How to open VFR file?
An often recurring problem with UEFI VFR Code Format is that VFR is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that VFR 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 VFR 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 EDK II
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that EDK II is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name EDK II into the 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 VFR files.
Programs to open VFR file
Remember to download programs supporting VFR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of EDK II with VFR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VFR file to open in the EDK II 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. 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 VFR file with the EDK II program.
Step 3. Update EDK II to the latest version
If, however, after binding EDK II with UEFI VFR Code Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VFR file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The VFR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VFR file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VFR or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected VFR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VFR file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VFR file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VFR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the VFR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the VFR 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 VFR to close. However, some background programs may block the VFR file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
