Hi, does this problem also occur with other files or only with a specific file?

[im.ux.designer]

I have the SAME problem as his. I've tried different versions, no luck. Tried creating new win 10 account, still no luck.

Mine only happened to one file. I still can open other .xd files just file.

Hello All,
I was working on a local file on Monday(07/09/2020). During work, I suddenly got a pop message which I have attached in the screenshot. I'm not able to open the file in my local machine. Even I tried to open in Mac as well as Windows. I have tried more than 4 Pc and Laptop to open this file. but I'm getting the same error while opening it.
I reinstall the Creative Cloud, and xd but getting the same error.
Please help me.

Thanks,
Rinkal

Thanks for your support sir.

Hi Habib,

Sorry to hear about the trouble. Please ensure that you are on the latest version of XD which is 33.1.12.4 and try opening the file after rebooting the system. If you are already on the latest version, please collect and share system logs by following the steps shared here: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-log-collector.html and please send the file through DM by clicking on my name.

Note: While sending DM, please add this discussion link in the subject.

Regards

 Hello Rishabh,
I can't upload the ZXP file in DM. Because there's no option to add files in DM.

Ok

Hi there,

Sorry for the delay in response. In order to share the file, you need to upload the file to a shared location such as Creative Cloud, Dropbox and share the URL with any of us over a PM.

We will try our best to help.

I am also merging this post with the curated Error: 86 post.

Thanks,

Harshika

Detailed case:

It is a local machine only file not kept inside creative cloud documents. I worked on it over a month or so and it has the latest designs for a quite a few important application modules.

While I was working on it there was a power issue occured and my win-10 (build 1909) got restarted. Didn't got a scope to manually save the document. When the pc restarted and tried opening the document it started showing "Error code: 86" this is not a valid xd document.

What I've tried so far:

1. Created a new windows user account:

Tried creating a new windows user account. Installed the xd on the new user account. Tried opening the document but same error occured.

Questions

Q1. Is there anyway I can open this corrupted xd document? I haven't ever stored this document on creative cloud.

Q2. Does xd keeps any temp copy somewhere in "AppData\Local" under windows environment?

Q3. What caused this issue to occure?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi there,

I am sorry to hear that you've had to deal with Error 86 after power shutdown in XD file and thanks for trying the troubleshooting steps. I would like to confirm if you've tried restarting the machine, I know it's a basic step but we have seen cases where after restarting the machine file gets open up fine. 

If that doesn't help, please try checking the file under temp folder and see if the file exists. If you didn't find the file there I would need a few more details like-

• Which version of XD was used to create the affected file?
• What is the current version of XD installed in the machine?
• What is the OS version?
• Is there any antivirus activated on the machine? If yes, what is the name of antivirus?
• Was the file edited by more than one designer?
• What were the last steps performed by you since the error?
• Name of the Artboard you worked on?

We will try our best to help.

Thanks,

Harshika

Were you able to resolve this? I am having the exact same issue. Wondering if a fix was found of if Adobe support were able to correct the file so it is readable once again?

Hello

I've the same problem of all of theses users and no response to solve the problem !!!!

I don't get to open xd file because it's the same error.

WHat's the problem?????

[Mike5CC8]

Hi there,

I have seen the previous posts based around the issue I have. I have tried everything, but nothing works.

I have multiple XD files hosted locally which I last edited in August 2020. I have now updated XD to version 33.1.12.

All of these files fail to load when I try and open them. The loader bar gets to about 75% of the way through before a pop-up window shows me an Error 86  - This is not a valid XD document.

Is there please anything you can do as it is stopping me doing some important work and I spent hours on the files.

[Mike5CC8]

Oh, forgot to say that I have also tried installing older versions of XD, but got the same problem. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version.
