How to open CFZ file?

The most common problem when using Compressed Archive is that a specific CFZ is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that CFZ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CFZ 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 UNCFZ

The first step is to check if the computer has the UNCFZ program installed. This can be achieved by typing UNCFZ into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CFZ with UNCFZ. Below is a list of programs that support the file CFZ.

Programs to open CFZ file

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

Step 2. Create association of UNCFZ with CFZ files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CFZ file to open in the UNCFZ application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 CFZ file with the UNCFZ application.

Step 3. Update UNCFZ to the latest version

If, however, after binding UNCFZ with Compressed Archive there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Jari Komppa website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CFZ 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 suggests truncating the CFZ file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 CFZ file. However, remember that not every infected CFZ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of CFZ 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CFZ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CFZ 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the CFZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CFZ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CFZ file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
