Why can’t the recovered files opened in any program?

In general, there are 3 causes for the issue that recovered files can't open:

1. There are errors in the path selected for recovered files. In this case, please right-click an individual file and recover it to the root directory of a drive to see whether it can open. If you already closed the program, you can run it again, choose the function you used to scan the drive, and load previous scanning results.

2. Errors occurred during the scan. In this case, please rescan the drive and save an individual file to see whether it can open.

3. The file got damaged before recovery. Wondershare Recoverit can only recover lost/deleted files but can't repair damaged files except for the video file. If you want to repair other photos or files, you can use another software Wondershare Repairit.
