The UPDATE file extension is associated with active server pages as well as Microsoft Internet Information Server. It is an extension for internal server update files. This type of file is created by programs that are part of the Internet Information Server package such as the Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions, ASP, and other server-side components.
UPDATE files are usually created on demand and cached for longer performance when needed. However, depending on the server configuration, they can expire or become invalid over time. The UPDATE file extension is also used for locating server updates to execute correctly.
Details
The UPDATE file format stores instructions for the web server and typically contains an INIT or console command. When a browser requests information from the website, an UPDATE script can be triggered by the request. The server would then read the script and process the request accordingly. These files are typically never opened manually since they are processed by the web server automatically.

Some of the other file formats related to UPDATE files include ASPX, ASP, HTML, and more.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .UPDATE) 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 .UPDATE 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 .UPDATE 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 .UPDATE 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 .UPDATE extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .UPDATE file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .UPDATE 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 .UPDATE file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .UPDATE file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .UPDATE file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
