How to open W64 file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the W64 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 Smart Converter

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Smart Converter is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Smart Converter into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open W64 files.

Step 2. Create association of Smart Converter with W64 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the W64 file still does not use the Smart Converter program, it means no 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the W64 file with the Smart Converter application.

Step 3. Update Smart Converter to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Smart Converter program, it is possible that Sony Wave64 Audio Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Systemic Pty Ltd website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the W64 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 W64 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the W64 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the W64 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected W64 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 W64 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular W64 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Sony
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file W64 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. If possible, you can try to move the W64 file to another location.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file W64 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the W64 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
