Step 2. Create association of Samsung PC Studio with WBU files
If, despite the installed application, the WBU file does not start in the Samsung PC Studio application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Samsung PC Studio application as the default for handling the WBU file.
Step 3. Update Samsung PC Studio to the latest version
If, however, after binding Samsung PC Studio with Samsung PC Studio Backup there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Samsung Group page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WBU file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't 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 WBU file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WBU file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WBU files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WBU file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WBU file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Samsung Group
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WBU 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the WBU file to another location.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WBU to close. However, some background programs may block the WBU file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
