How to open EDC file?

The main problem with Kryptel Lite Encrypted Format is that the EDC file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file EDC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EDC 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 Kryptel Lite

The first step is to check if the computer has the Kryptel Lite program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Kryptel Lite in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support EDC files.

Programs to open EDC file

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

Step 2. Create association of Kryptel Lite with EDC files

If, despite the installed application, the EDC file does not start in the Kryptel Lite application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the EDC file with the Kryptel Lite program.

Step 3. Update Kryptel Lite to the latest version

If, however, after binding Kryptel Lite with Kryptel Lite Encrypted Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EDC 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the EDC file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our EDC file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EDC 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 EDC 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair EDC file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EDC 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the EDC file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the EDC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EDC to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EDC file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
