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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XLZ or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected XLZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of XLZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XLZ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use CPT help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XLZ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the XLZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the XLZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XLZ to close. However, some background programs may block the XLZ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
