How to open WUI file?

The main problem with WhatsUp Gold Network Map Polling Statistics is that the WUI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file WUI to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WUI 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 WhatsUp Gold

In this case, you should first verify that the WhatsUp Gold application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name WhatsUp Gold into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open WUI files.

Programs to open WUI file

Remember to download programs supporting WUI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of WhatsUp Gold with WUI files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WUI file to open in the WhatsUp Gold application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WhatsUp Gold application as the default for handling the WUI file.

Step 3. Update WhatsUp Gold to the latest version

If, however, after binding WhatsUp Gold with WhatsUp Gold Network Map Polling Statistics there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Ipswitch, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WUI file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The WUI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to WUI files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WUI file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WUI files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WUI files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WUI file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Ipswitch, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file WUI 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the WUI file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the WUI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the WUI file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
