How to open CONSOLE file?
The main problem with Widows NT Console is that the CONSOLE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that CONSOLE 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 CONSOLE 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 Microsoft Windows NT 4.0

Programs to open CONSOLE file
Remember to download programs supporting CONSOLE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 with CONSOLE files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CONSOLE file to open in the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 CONSOLE file with the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 program, it is possible that Widows NT Console requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CONSOLE file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The CONSOLE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CONSOLE file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CONSOLE file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected CONSOLE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CONSOLE 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CONSOLE files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CONSOLE 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the CONSOLE file to another location.
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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CONSOLE file again. However, some background programs may block the CONSOLE file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
