How to open EFU file?
The most common problem when using Encryptafile Public Key Format is that a specific EFU is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that EFU 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 EFU 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. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file EFU with Encryptafile. Below you will find a list of applications that support EFU files.
Programs to open EFU file
Remember to download programs supporting EFU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Encryptafile with EFU files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the EFU file to open in the Encryptafile application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the EFU file with the Encryptafile application.
Step 3. Update Encryptafile to the latest version
If, however, after binding Encryptafile with Encryptafile Public Key Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the XenoSystems, LLC website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EFU file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to EFU 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EFU file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected EFU file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the EFU files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair EFU file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting XenoSystems, 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 EFU 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move EFU to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EFU to close. However, some background programs may block the EFU file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
