How to open AXS file?
The main problem with ActiveX Script is that the AXS 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 AXS 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 NotePad++ text editor
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that NotePad++ text editor is installed on the computer.

Programs to open AXS file
Remember to download programs supporting AXS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NotePad++ text editor with AXS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AXS file to open in the NotePad++ text editor application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 AXS file with the NotePad++ text editor application.
Step 3. Update NotePad++ text editor to the latest version
If, despite the association of the NotePad++ text editor program with the ActiveX Script 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 Notepad++ Team page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AXS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the AXS 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AXS or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected AXS 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 AXS file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AXS files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AXS except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the AXS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AXS to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
