The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KYN file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install ALSee

Programs to open KYN file
Remember to download programs supporting KYN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ALSee with KYN files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the KYN file still does not use the ALSee program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the KYN file with the ALSee application.
Step 3. Update ALSee to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ALSee program with the ALSee Thumbnail Cache file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the ESTsoft Corp. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KYN file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The KYN file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to KYN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file KYN or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected KYN file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the KYN file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair KYN file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ESTsoft Corp.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KYN files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move KYN to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file KYN to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
