Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Excel with XLB4 files

Step 3. Update Microsoft Excel 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 Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XLB4 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The XLB4 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XLB4 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XLB4 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected XLB4 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the XLB4 file. 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 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 XLB4 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XLB4 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move XLB4 to a different directory.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XLB4 to close. However, some background programs may block the XLB4 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
