The .BMC file extension is associated with the Windows operating system, and specifically designates a Bitmap Cache file generated by the Windows OS software as well as various remote desktop applications such as TeamViewer or the Remote Desktop Connection. This type of file is produced in order to improve performance while navigating through Windows or completing tasks with a remote desktop application by storing bitmap images of icons and windows as they are used.
What Is a BMC File?
Bitmap cache files store bitmapped copies of User Interface objects from applications running on the local system or on a remote machine. By caching the UI objects, icons and window displays appear exactly the same each time they are loaded, allowing for the user to experience a consistent navigation experience. Bitmap cache files draw info from disk cache, memory cache, stored bitmaps, and Display Control Protocol packets to generate the images.
Other BMC File Extensions
Additionally, certain types of data are saved with a similar BMCX, .BMF, and .BMG file extension. These files also contain bitmap image representation of program icons which are stored in a database or in an individual file format. The BMCX, BMF, and BMG formats differ from older versions due to increases in accuracy, resolution, and color depth.

Like BMC files, other similar file formats include:
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .BMC) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .BMC extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .BMC file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .BMC extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .BMC extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .BMC file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .BMC file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .BMC file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .BMC file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .BMC file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
