I’ve just encountered this error, I don’t know how it happened and how could it happen. if you guys have any idea of how is it possible then please tell me and also give me the solution.
Will you explain properly, what is it? what you’re doing, what file you’re opening?.
Considering the error > You’re opening a file but your OS does not have associated application to handle it, Example: for all video media files you always need Media player, so what file it is? find out the associated software that opens that file.
If it is a file, Check the extension, what it is .xml, .pdf, etc? then Google search and find out what software can play it.
