Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WCN 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:

The WCN file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the WCN file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WCN file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected WCN files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of WCN file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 WCN files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WCN files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. Copying the WCN file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WCN to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
