If, despite the installed application, the XRM-MS file does not start in the Microsoft Windows application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XRM-MS file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The XRM-MS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to XRM-MS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XRM-MS or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected XRM-MS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of XRM-MS 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XRM-MS file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted XRM-MS 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. Copying the XRM-MS file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the XRM-MS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XRM-MS to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XRM-MS file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
