Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Excel with XLM_ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XLM_ file still does not use the Microsoft Excel program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties.

If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XLM_ 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 XLM_ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to XLM_ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our XLM_ file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XLM_ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of XLM_ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged XLM_ files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file XLM_ except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the XLM_ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XLM_ file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
