How to open WLVS file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WLVS 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.

Remember to download programs supporting WLVS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows Live Movie Maker with WLVS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WLVS file still does not use the Microsoft Windows Live Movie Maker program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WLVS file with the Microsoft Windows Live Movie Maker program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows Live Movie Maker to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Windows Live Movie Maker program, it is possible that Movie Maker Profile Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WLVS 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 WLVS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WLVS file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 WLVS or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected WLVS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WLVS 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 option of recovering data from damaged WLVS files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WLVS 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the WLVS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the WLVS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WLVS to close. However, some background programs may block the WLVS file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
