WYZ file extension
The WYZ file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the WYZ files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the WYZ file on each system platform.
What is WYZ file?
The file in the WYZ format belongs to the Audio Files category. Additionally, the Audio Files category contains 771 of other files. WYZTracker Format is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is WYZTracker. This was created by AugustoRuiz.
How to open WYZ file?
The main problem with WYZTracker Format is that the WYZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open WYZ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WYZ 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 WYZTracker
The first step is to check if the computer has the WYZTracker program installed. This can be achieved by typing WYZTracker 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 WYZ with WYZTracker. Below is a list of programs that support the file WYZ.
Programs to open WYZ file
Remember to download programs supporting WYZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WYZTracker with WYZ files
If, despite the installed application, the WYZ file does not start in the WYZTracker 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WYZ file with the WYZTracker program.
Step 3. Update WYZTracker to the latest version
If, however, after binding WYZTracker with WYZTracker 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 AugustoRuiz website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WYZ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WYZ file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WYZ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WYZ 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 WYZ 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WYZ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WYZ 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the WYZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the WYZ 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 WYZ to close. However, some background programs may block the WYZ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
