Hello.
I was cracking a 4-way WPA2 handsake
Code:
hashcat64.exe -m 2500 -a 3 C:\Users\oskar\Desktop\handshake-48_8D_36_4F_7F_7C.hccapx -1 ?l?u?d ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1 -D 2 -w 2 --self-test-disable
then I stopped it, saving the work in a restore file. When I reopened it I realised I was cracking it with a second level workload 
Code:
-w 2
(yes, I dind't realized that before, im retard).

Now, what should I do in order to restore the job with a different level of workload for example, (-w 4) ?

I have already tried to modify the restore file but I was getting the following error: Usually high number of arguments within restore file.

"Unusually high number of arguments"
means that you corrupted the .restore file.

maybe your text editor did some strange things to the restore file (which contains binary data too)

It's actually not supported to modify the restore file directly and change any parameters, but there are some workarounds like analyze_hc_restore (see https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=fre...at_session and https://github.com/philsmd/analyze_hc_restore). You would need to have perl installed for analyze_hc_restore.pl
