Hi,
I have some issue with opening my own file on my own laptop. I used to use the same computer and same revit version to work in the same files that I created. Yesterday I uninstalled the revit and reinstalled it. After that, I can no longer open the file that used to be fine. When I open the file, revit will load with the progress moving to 100%, and then it will show "ready" and froze there. I tried multiple times, uninstalled, reinstalled, new 2025 version of revit. I tried updated my computer system to the latest, checked the graphic card if it has the latest driver, uninstalled all revit plugin software, copy the same file on a different disk and try opening, or open the file directly from the folder by double click instead of open it from Revit. However nothing worked. I tried copy the file to another computer that has the same revit version and the file is working fine.
Now I tried everything that I can think of, what else I could try?

Hi,
I think your file might have been corrupted. By the way, could you share your file here so I can test it for you?
You also can audit the file
Hi, thanks for the reply! I tested the file on the other computers, and they all work. And I did audit the file when openning on my own computer, still not working.
Hi, thanks for the reply! I tested the file on the other computers, and they all work. And I did audit the file when openning on my own computer, still not working. Also it's not just one file that has this issue on my computer. I think all the revit files that I created cannot open. The only ones that I can open are the example revit files comes together with the revit installation.
Hope this can give you more backgrounds
Hi,
You can try this: Perform a Clean Uninstall of Autodesk products on Windows
Here is the article:
May I know where you downloaded the package installtion file ? It is from a trusted source.
Hi,
I use the Revit 2024 student version installed from Autodesk website. I actually tried clean uninstallation, but didn't work. After that, which was quite frustrating, I recovered my whole windows system, and hoping that it can clean up everything entirely. But unfortunately even after recover the computer system, the newly installed revit 2024 still behave exactly the same as before..... It is very frustrating
Which template file are you using for your new projects? You can try a different template. Or install country template files and try using them to start a new project.
I can use any template to create new projects, but the issue is I cannot open any of my old projects....
So, all the problem started after uninstallation and reinstallation of Revit 2024 on laptop?
You mentioned 2025 version in your original post. Did you also try it on your laptop?
It says this:
"1. File Opening Errors: Users might experience difficulty opening files, receiving an error message indicating that Revit cannot access the model. 2. Rollback Limitation: Once Revit 2024.3 is installed, a rollback to previous versions is not possible, even after a clean uninstall, resulting in a Revit.exe error.23 Oct 2024"
If the versions higher than 2024.3 do not work, don't lose time, just format your drive.
As I understand it is because of the version 2024.3 (Message 12). It is not about something you did.
It seems you either don't go back to a state before 2024.3 install or you go but windows doesn't get rid of everything. It is Microsoft you know. Personally, I would format the drive earlier.
