How to open CRYPTED file?
An often recurring problem with WinOptimizer Encrypted Format is that CRYPTED is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open CRYPTED, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CRYPTED 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 Ashampoo WinOptimizer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Ashampoo WinOptimizer is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Ashampoo WinOptimizer in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file CRYPTED.
Programs to open CRYPTED file
Remember to download programs supporting CRYPTED files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ashampoo WinOptimizer with CRYPTED files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CRYPTED file still does not use the Ashampoo WinOptimizer program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Ashampoo WinOptimizer application as the default for handling the CRYPTED file.
Step 3. Update Ashampoo WinOptimizer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Ashampoo WinOptimizer program, it is possible that WinOptimizer Encrypted Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Ashampoo GmbH & Co. KG website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CRYPTED file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to CRYPTED files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CRYPTED file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CRYPTED files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of CRYPTED file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CRYPTED file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Ashampoo help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CRYPTED files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the CRYPTED file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the CRYPTED 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 CRYPTED 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.
