What is AUT file?

How to open AUT file?
The main problem with AutoIt Script Format is that the AUT file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open AUT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AUT 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 AutoIt
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that AutoIt is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name AutoIt in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file AUT with AutoIt. Below is a list of programs that support the file AUT.
Programs to open AUT file
Remember to download programs supporting AUT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AutoIt with AUT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AUT file still does not use the AutoIt program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the AutoIt application as the default for handling the AUT file.
Step 3. Update AutoIt to the latest version
If, however, after binding AutoIt with AutoIt Script Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AUT 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 AUT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to AUT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AUT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected AUT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of AUT 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AUT file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AUT files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the AUT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AUT file again. However, some background programs may block the AUT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
