This is the project that we use during production.

Which version of KiCAD exactly are you using? Is there any message when you are trying to open the schematics?

Hi,

I am using version 7.

The project was made with older version but it should work fine with version 7, at least it does here when I test with version 7.

It works fine with KiCAD 7 just when opening the schematic you'd get pop up "Project Rescue Helper" - just close it from the "X" in the corner.

What is the error message that you get or explain what doesn't seem to work at your side?

When I close the popup, the KiCad application itself closed.

I believe this can be some issue with your KiCAD installation - try reinstalling KiCAD, maybe try older release. When opening the design make sure you have downloaded all design files from the GitHub. Here you can see a picture where I have opened the same design and schematic with KiCAD 7.0.5 without any issues or glitches so the files are fine:
