How to open WWX file?

The main problem with WinIDEA Watch XML Format is that the WWX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file WWX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WWX 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 winIDEA

In this case, you should first verify that the winIDEA application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name winIDEA in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open WWX files.

Programs to open WWX file

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

Step 2. Create association of winIDEA with WWX files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WWX file to open in the winIDEA application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 winIDEA application as the default for handling the WWX file.

Step 3. Update winIDEA to the latest version

If, however, after binding winIDEA with WinIDEA Watch XML Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the iSYSTEM AG. website and install the latest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The WWX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WWX file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 WWX or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected WWX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of WWX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WWX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WWX 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the WWX file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
