If the MS Project file won’t open, you won’t be able to access it or make any changes to it, and that can negatively impact your productivity, but there are ways to fix this.
Why MS Project won’t open?
In most cases, there’s an issue with your MMP file or with the installation of Microsoft Project.
What can I do if the Project cannot open the file?
You can try opening the file on a different PC, if possible. Alternatively, you can close the MS Project process from Task Manager, start it again, and then open the MMP file from the Project app.
1. Use MS Project online
2. Perform the online repair
If Microsoft Project cannot open the file, you can try opening it using a different PC or by using the online version. If that doesn’t work, the only option is to repair your installation.
If you choose to reinstall the software, keep in mind that sometimesMS Project is not installing with Office 365, but we have a guide that addresses that.
