Electrum wallet won't open

I just did an update restart on my PC, I'm trying to open my electrum wallet, which is on my desktop. I get an error message: "Cannot read wallet file 'C:\Users....\Electrum\wallets\default_wallet". Has anyone encountered this & what should I do to be able to open my electrum btc wallet again?

From how I understand it, your wallet-file is corrupt.

Try to rename it or even delete it and restore your wallet from seed.

"Restore an existing wallet from its seed" is what you want to do. You did save that list of words right? The one it told you to NEVER LOSE?

The wallet can be named anything, you can even start a new wallet. As long as you have the seed it can be restored.
