How to open EFL file?
The main problem with Encryptafile Encrypted Format is that the EFL file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open EFL, 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 EFL 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 Encryptafile
In this case, you should first verify that the Encryptafile application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Encryptafile into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open EFL files.
Programs to open EFL file
Remember to download programs supporting EFL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Encryptafile with EFL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EFL file still does not use the Encryptafile program, it means no 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the EFL file with the Encryptafile program.
Step 3. Update Encryptafile to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Encryptafile program, it is possible that Encryptafile Encrypted Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the XenoSystems, LLC website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EFL file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The EFL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to EFL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EFL file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EFL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of EFL 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EFL file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use XenoSystems help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EFL 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. Copying the EFL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EFL to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
