Revit 2018 won't open file

I just upgraded my Revit from Revit LT 2017 to Revit 2018. I opened a working file and it work just fine but the next day when I tried to open that same file again, Revit keep saying: " An unknown error occurred while accessing the file". I couldn't access to this file at all. 

Is there a way to solve this? I need to finish this project on time for my client.

Hi @unhingedatx

Please run the updates and hot fixes for Revit 2018 from your app store.

Can you please send a journal file to troubleshoot? 

Regards,

Hello, try to tick AUDIT before opening the file and see if helps. Thanks

Hi,

 

I am having same problem, plus the Revit 2017 is the default application now for RVT file type associates, not Revit 2018.

I am using Windows 10 64B. I tried to change the default application from Revit 2017 to Revit 2018, but it did not allow me
