How to open AXR file?

The main problem with ElcomSoft Adcanced Archive Password Recovery is that the AXR file is incorrectly associated with programs.

This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AXR 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 Advanced Archive Password Recovery

Programs to open AXR file

Remember to download programs supporting AXR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Advanced Archive Password Recovery with AXR files

If, despite the installed application, the AXR file does not start in the Advanced Archive Password Recovery application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AXR file with the Advanced Archive Password Recovery application.

Step 3. Update Advanced Archive Password Recovery to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Advanced Archive Password Recovery program, it is possible that ElcomSoft Adcanced Archive Password Recovery requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the ElcomSoft Co. Ltd. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AXR file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the AXR file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AXR or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AXR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AXR file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AXR file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ElcomSoft Co. Ltd.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AXR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 AXR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the AXR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AXR file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
