The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties.

The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner.

The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XLC4 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.

Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XLC4 to close. However, some background programs may block the XLC4 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
