The issue I am getting at is that my place (which says it is published in the pictures, but it is actually just a RBX file,) is not opening. The errors that show up are “Malformed data” and “Serializer: can’t read header” (for an autosave file). Does anyone else have this issue? If so, please help me with trying to fix it.

Your data might be corrupted, or you just have to restart Studio.

Plus, if anyone wonders - I do not have any previous versions on my Windows. I shut down my PC without any clue of this happening.

Have already reinstalled it, at much. Do not really know what to do.

Your data probably got corrupted. When you shut down your computer, did you force a shutdown?

Yes, I did. But I think I quit studio before shutting it down and saved it.

Next time, let the shutdown run on its own and don’t force it off. Data might become corrupted and then unusable.

Would any Windows tech-experts fix the corruption of the file or do I just lose all of my models there?

Unsure if the file can be repaired. You can figure out a way to restore the data, but that’s as close as you might get.
Also, this belongs under a different category, possibly Bug Reports.

Alright, thank you for letting me know.

Actually, I might have found out something. One day, I renamed my file, and this same message came up. When I tried renaming the file, it let me back in. I’m not entirely sure why this happens, but try this possible solution first.

This unfortunately has nothing to do with the file name.
it happened to me too my studio froze without saving for many hours so i lost all my work
but instead We could not open the place “C:/Users/***/AppData/Local/Roblox/RobloxStudio/AutoSaves/Place_AutoRecovery_0.rbxl”. Serializer::checkHeaderForXML can’t read header
