How to open file with .ETL extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .ETL file? Do you want to convert a .ETL file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .ETL

Full Name Developer Category
Microsoft Windows Trace Log Format Microsoft System Files
.ETL

The ETL ( .ETL) file extension stands for Microsoft Windows Event Trace Log files. This type of files are used by Event Tracing for Windows and Event Viewer, two components of the Microsoft operating system family. An ETL file contains log data of operations on your computer from various processes or services. Such data consists of system events, user activities, and interactions between applications and the operating system.

Uses and Benefits

With the help of ETL files, IT professionals can analyze performance-related issues on computers running Windows operating systems with better insight. In addition, these files can be reviewed for debugging applications as well as obtaining details about system services and their proper functioning. The fact that these files can be played back at any time using Microsoft Message Analyzer marks an additional benefit of having them stored on the disk.

Similar File Formats

ETL files are closely related to other log and trace files, such as .LOG, .TRC, .WTL, and EVTX.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ETL) 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 .ETL 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 .ETL 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 .ETL 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 .ETL extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ETL file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ETL 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 .ETL file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ETL file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .ETL file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .ETL file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
