The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to XLBN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 XLBN or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected XLBN 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 XLBN file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XLBN file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation

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. Copying the XLBN file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the XLBN file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XLBN file again. However, some background programs may block the XLBN file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
