The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XTU file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XTU files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XTU files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.

This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the XTU file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
