How to open WBVERIFY file?

The main problem with Microsoft Windows Backup is that the WBVERIFY file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open WBVERIFY, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WBVERIFY 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 Windows Vista

The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Windows Vista program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Windows Vista in it. 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 WBVERIFY files.

Programs to open WBVERIFY file

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

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows Vista with WBVERIFY files

If, despite the installed application, the WBVERIFY file does not start in the Microsoft Windows Vista 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 WBVERIFY file with the Microsoft Windows Vista program.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows Vista to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Microsoft Windows Vista program with the Microsoft Windows Backup file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. 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 WBVERIFY 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. Usually this applies to WBVERIFY files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WBVERIFY or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected WBVERIFY files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WBVERIFY 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WBVERIFY file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WBVERIFY 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.
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. Copying the WBVERIFY file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the WBVERIFY file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the WBVERIFY file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
