The YZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the YZ file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our YZ file. However, remember that not every infected YZ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of YZ 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair YZ file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file YZ 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move YZ to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the YZ 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 YZ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the YZ file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
