How to open YWL file?
The most common problem when using YoWindow Data is that a specific YWL is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that YWL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the YWL file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Windows Notepad
The first step is to check if the computer has the Windows Notepad program installed. This can be achieved by typing Windows Notepad into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file YWL.
Programs to open YWL file
Remember to download programs supporting YWL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Windows Notepad with YWL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the YWL file to open in the Windows Notepad application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the YWL file with the Windows Notepad program.
Step 3. Update Windows Notepad to the latest version
If, however, after binding Windows Notepad with YoWindow Data there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the YWL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The YWL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to YWL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our YWL file. However, remember that not every infected YWL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the YWL files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair YWL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Repkasoft
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted YWL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the YWL file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the YWL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the YWL 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.
