What is a RIO file?
RIO is a file extension used on AIX (Advanced Interactive eXecutive) systems. These are systems that are used in some series of IBM devices. They are based on the Unix kernel.
RIO are files used to store system data. They contain information about system resource attributes and the configuration of reporting intervals. This reporting is for dynamic resource attributes defined in class files. These are system files and are not intended to be opened or edited directly by the user.

How to open RIO files
If you cannot open the RIO file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports RIO among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the RIO file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the RIO format files
The inability to open and operate the RIO file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the IBM AIX System file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a RIO file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the RIO file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the RIO from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the RIO format
- The RIO file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the RIO file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a RIO file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the RIO file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the RIO file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the RIO file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.RIO) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected RIO file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the RIO file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. RIO) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
