How can I restore my corrupted files?

“Hi, two days ago, when I tried to open some of my documents on my computer, I found that I couldn't open them. They are all corrupted and get an error message: ‘The file is corrupt and cannot be opened’. I do not know what’s wrong but I really need them back. Any ideas? Thanks.”

When facing this issue, you can first try to repair them or try to run a virus detection program. However, if they do not work, you can try a third-party data recovery program to recover corrupted files. Please stop using your computer and do not open the document again and again.
