The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the VSPOLICY file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VSPOLICY file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected VSPOLICY file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VSPOLICY file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VSPOLICY files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file VSPOLICY 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move VSPOLICY to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the VSPOLICY file again. However, some background programs may block the VSPOLICY file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
