How to open BKO file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BKO 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 Backup Outlook

If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file BKO.
Programs to open BKO file

Step 2. Create association of Backup Outlook with BKO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BKO file to open in the Backup Outlook 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. 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BKO file with the Backup Outlook program.
Step 3. Update Backup Outlook to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Backup Outlook program with the Wisco Backup Outlook Backup 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 Wisco page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BKO 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BKO file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BKO or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected BKO 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 BKO 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BKO file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Wisco help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BKO 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the BKO file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the BKO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BKO 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.
