Programs to open YLS file

Remember to download programs supporting YLS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of YuleLog with YLS files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the YLS file to open in the YuleLog application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the YLS file with the YuleLog program.

Step 3. Update YuleLog to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the YuleLog program, it is possible that YuleLog Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the YuleLog Software website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the YLS file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the YLS file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file YLS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected YLS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of YLS 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair YLS file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file YLS 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the YLS file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the YLS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the YLS file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
