The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WTF 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 World of Warcraft

Programs to open WTF file
Remember to download programs supporting WTF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of World of Warcraft with WTF files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WTF file still does not use the World of Warcraft program, it means no 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 select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WTF file with the World of Warcraft application.
Step 3. Update World of Warcraft to the latest version
If, despite the association of the World of Warcraft program with the World Of Warcraft Text Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WTF file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the WTF file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. 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 WTF file. Sometimes virus-infected WTF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of WTF 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WTF files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Blizzard Entertainment
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WTF except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move WTF to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WTF file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
