The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ACRYPT 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.

Programs to open ACRYPT file
Remember to download programs supporting ACRYPT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AutoCrypt with ACRYPT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ACRYPT file to open in the AutoCrypt application, but you can set it manually. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ACRYPT file with the AutoCrypt application.
Step 3. Update AutoCrypt to the latest version
If, despite the association of the AutoCrypt program with the AutoCrypt Encrypted Document file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Tension Software page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ACRYPT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The ACRYPT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ACRYPT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ACRYPT file. Sometimes virus-infected ACRYPT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ACRYPT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ACRYPT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Tension Software help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ACRYPT 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the ACRYPT file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ACRYPT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ACRYPT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
