Troubleshoot URI Files

Typical URI Opening Challenges

Microsoft Notepad is Not Installed

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open URI Files" when trying to open your URI. Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Notepad isn't installed on your PC. The typical path of opening your URI with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: When another URI application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

Microsoft Notepad Requires Update

Your List Of Uniform Resource Identifiers file is incompatible with Microsoft Notepad because you might have the wrong version installed. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Microsoft Notepad. Most of the time your List Of Uniform Resource Identifiers file was created by a newer Microsoft Notepad than what you have installed.

Tip: Right-clicking on your URI, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.

Conclusion: The majority of URI file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Notepad version installed.

Assuming you have the right Microsoft Notepad version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening URI files. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening URIs. These issues include:

• Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for URI

• Your URI can't be loaded properly (file corruption)

• Hardware associated with URI has outdated drivers
