The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XDS 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 LcdStudio
The first step is to check if the computer has the LcdStudio program installed. This can be achieved by typing LcdStudio 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 XDS with LcdStudio.

Programs to open XDS file
Remember to download programs supporting XDS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LcdStudio with XDS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XDS file to open in the LcdStudio 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. 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the XDS file with the LcdStudio application.
Step 3. Update LcdStudio to the latest version
If, however, after binding LcdStudio with LCDStudio Design Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the LCDstudio.com page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XDS 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:
The XDS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the XDS file contents when downloading or copying. 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 XDS or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XDS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of XDS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XDS file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact LCDstudio.com
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XDS 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 XDS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the XDS 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 XDS to close. However, some background programs may block the XDS file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
