INDD file does not open

When trying to open the file, it displays the following message:

 

Cannot opne the file indd adobe indesign may not support the format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application

 

I've tried almost everything that was explained in the forum and I can't. Does anyone have a solution for this?

I use it on Microsoft Windows, the latest version of Indesign, I don't have any plugin installed in Indesign

Do verify that the file indeed exists at the location and is a valid InDesign document. You can check the path where it is trying to locate that file by howering on the file preview that you have highlighted in the screenshot

Yes! I already checked... it's there! It seems to me that the file has been corrupted. It was based on another indd file (the first one on the list)
