How to open VSGLOG file?

The main problem with Microsoft Visual Studio Data Format is that the VSGLOG file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file VSGLOG to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VSGLOG 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 Microsoft Visual Studio

In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Visual Studio application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Visual Studio in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file VSGLOG with Microsoft Visual Studio. Below you will find a list of applications that support VSGLOG files.

Programs to open VSGLOG file

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

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Visual Studio with VSGLOG files

If, despite the installed application, the VSGLOG file does not start in the Microsoft Visual Studio application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VSGLOG file with the Microsoft Visual Studio program.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Visual Studio to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Visual Studio program, it is possible that Microsoft Visual Studio Data Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VSGLOG file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VSGLOG file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VSGLOG 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 VSGLOG 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 VSGLOG files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VSGLOG 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the VSGLOG file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file VSGLOG to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
