The SYS file extension is a Windows System File utilized by the Microsoft Windows Operating System. SYS files are native to the Windows OS, and provide essential services and functions for various programs and applications. SYS files store information regarding hardware integration and system settings, such as system calls, drivers, etc. They are usually found in a variety of different system directories, such as the WINNT or WINDOWS folders.

Types of SYS Files

SYS files come in several different types and varieties based on the data they contain. For example, some may store device drivers associated with hardware or software installed on the system. Other types of SYS files contain various types of miscellaneous data, such as fonts or memory settings. Additionally, some SYS files may contain instructions related to BIOS-level features of a computer's motherboard. Commonly associated file extensions include .INF, .VXD, and .DRV.

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

Other instructions

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

It is also good to check

  • if the .SYS 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 .SYS 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.
