How to open DARKNESS file?
The most common problem when using Rakhni Ransomware Affected Data Format is that a specific DARKNESS is not associated with the program. This causes the file DARKNESS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DARKNESS 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 RakhniDecryptor
In this case, you should first verify that the RakhniDecryptor application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name RakhniDecryptor in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support DARKNESS files.
Programs to open DARKNESS file
Remember to download programs supporting DARKNESS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RakhniDecryptor with DARKNESS files
If, despite the installed application, the DARKNESS file does not start in the RakhniDecryptor application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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 RakhniDecryptor application as the default for handling the DARKNESS file.
Step 3. Update RakhniDecryptor to the latest version
If, despite the association of the RakhniDecryptor program with the Rakhni Ransomware Affected Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Kaspersky Lab website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DARKNESS 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 DARKNESS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DARKNESS 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DARKNESS file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DARKNESS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DARKNESS 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DARKNESS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DARKNESS 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. 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 DARKNESS file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the DARKNESS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DARKNESS file again. 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.
