What is WMU file?
The file with the extension WMU is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by Wider Networks. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. WIND Tunnel WIND is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use WIND Tunnel to handle this file. This is a program created by Wider Networks.
How to open WMU file?
The most common problem when using WIND Tunnel WIND is that a specific WMU is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open WMU, 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 WMU 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 WIND Tunnel
The first step is to check if the computer has the WIND Tunnel program installed. This can be achieved by typing WIND Tunnel into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file WMU with WIND Tunnel. Below is a list of programs that support the file WMU.
Programs to open WMU file
Remember to download programs supporting WMU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WIND Tunnel with WMU files
If, despite the installed application, the WMU file does not start in the WIND Tunnel application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. 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 WMU file with the WIND Tunnel program.
Step 3. Update WIND Tunnel to the latest version
If, despite the association of the WIND Tunnel program with the WIND Tunnel WIND file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Wider Networks website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WMU 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 WMU file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the WMU file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WMU file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WMU 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 WMU file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WMU file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Wider Networks, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WMU files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the WMU 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WMU file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
