What is VHDPMEM file?
The VHDPMEM file has been categorized as Disk Image Files. In addition to this file, the Disk Image Files category includes 203 related files. Hyper-V Persistent Memory Device Image Format is most often found on 1 operating systems.

It was released by Microsoft Corporation.
How to open VHDPMEM file?
The main problem with Hyper-V Persistent Memory Device Image Format is that the VHDPMEM file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file VHDPMEM to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VHDPMEM 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 Hyper-V
The first step is to check if the computer has the Hyper-V program installed. To do this, enter the name Hyper-V into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file VHDPMEM with Hyper-V. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VHDPMEM files.
Programs to open VHDPMEM file
Remember to download programs supporting VHDPMEM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Hyper-V with VHDPMEM files
If, despite the installed application, the VHDPMEM file does not start in the Hyper-V application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VHDPMEM file with the Hyper-V program.
Step 3. Update Hyper-V to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Hyper-V program, it is possible that Hyper-V Persistent Memory Device Image Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VHDPMEM 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VHDPMEM file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our VHDPMEM file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VHDPMEM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the VHDPMEM files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VHDPMEM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VHDPMEM files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. It is best to move VHDPMEM to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with 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 you have to wait for the session to the file VHDPMEM to close. However, some background programs may block the VHDPMEM file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
