TU File Extension

What is TU file?

TU filename suffix is mostly used for Turing Source Format files. Turing Source Format format was developed by Holt Software. TU files are supported by software applications available for devices running Mac OS, Windows. Files with TU extension are categorized as Developer Files files. The Developer Files subset comprises 1205 various file formats. Turing supports TU files and is the most frequently used program to handle such files, yet 1 other tools may also be used.

Programs which support TU file extension

Below you will find an index of software programs that can be used to open TU files divided into 2 categories according to system platform supported. Files with TU suffix can be copied to any mobile device or system platform, but it may not be possible to open them properly on target system.

How to open file with TU extension?

Being unable to open files with TU extension can be have various origins. Fortunately, most common problems with TU files can be solved without in-depth IT knowledge, and most importantly, in a matter of minutes. The list below will guide you through the process of addressing the encountered problem.

Step 1. Download and install Turing

The most common reason for such problems is the lack of proper applications that supports TU files installed on the system. The solution is straightforward, just download and install Turing. On the top of the page a list that contains all programs grouped based on operating systems supported can be found. One of the most risk-free method of downloading software is using links provided by official distributors. Visit Turing website and download the installer.

Step 2. Verify the you have the latest version of Turing

If the problems with opening TU files still occur even after installing Turing, it is possible that you have an outdated version of the software. Check the developer’s website whether a newer version of Turing is available. Sometimes software developers introduce new formats in place of that already supports along with newer versions of their applications. If you have an older version of Turing installed, it may not support TU format. The latest version of Turing should support all file formats that where compatible with older versions of the software.

• Clicking the TU with right mouse button will bring a menu from which you should select the Open with option
• Click Choose another app and then select More apps option
• To finalize the process, select Look for another app on this PC entry and using the file explorer select the Turing installation folder. Confirm by checking Always use this app to open TU files box and clicking OK button.

The procedure to change the default program in Mac OS

• Right-click the TU file and select Information
• Proceed to the Open with section. If its closed, click the title to access available options

3. Verify whether your account has administrative rights

There is a possibility that the file in question can only be accessed by users with sufficient system privileges. Log out of your current account and log in to an account with sufficient access privileges. Then open the Turing Source Format file.

4. Check whether your system can handle Turing

If the system is under havy load, it may not be able to handle the program that you use to open files with TU extension. In this case close the other applications.

5. Check if you have the latest updates to the operating system and drivers

Latest versions of programs and drivers may help you solve problems with Turing Source Format files and ensure security of your device and operating system. Outdated drivers or software may have caused the inability to use a peripheral device needed to handle TU files.
