The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties.

For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WO2 file. Sometimes virus-infected WO2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WO2 files changes over time. 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.
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 WO2 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact

This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the WO2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WO2 to close. However, some background programs may block the WO2 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
