How to open WDQ file?
The main problem with Offline Explorer Queue Format is that the WDQ file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open WDQ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WDQ 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 Offline Explorer

Programs to open WDQ file
Remember to download programs supporting WDQ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Offline Explorer with WDQ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WDQ file to open in the Offline Explorer application, but you can set it manually. 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 select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Offline Explorer application as the default for handling the WDQ file.
Step 3. Update Offline Explorer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Offline Explorer program, it is possible that Offline Explorer Queue Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the MetaProducts Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WDQ 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WDQ file. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WDQ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WDQ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of WDQ 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WDQ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact MetaProducts
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WDQ 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the WDQ file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WDQ file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WDQ file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
