Why Cant you open RAR files by default?

Why do RAR files fail to open? – Improper RAR download: Any interruption during the downloading process might corrupt that RAR file, which results in inaccessibility. The possible interruptions could be an unexpected power failure or faulty network connection.

  • Even, the archive will not open if an interruption occurs during the file extraction process Header Corruption: The header of a file holds entire information about the RAR file.
  • Your archive might refuse to open after the corruption of the RAR header.
  • The main reason behind header corruption is abrupt termination of the WinRAR software while you are working on it File Format Conversion: Frequent conversion of the RAR files to other formats can lead to damages and thereby RAR archives fails to extract,

CRC Error: During the creation of the RAR file, a checksum is assigned for a particular byte of that file and it is compared at the time of extraction. If a mismatch occurs, you get CRC errors and hence archives refuse to open Other Reasons: You might fail to open your valuable RAR file due to corruption after recovery using unreliable apps, infection of virus threats, interruption in file transferring, bad sector in the hard disk, and many more
