How to open EFXT file?
An often recurring problem with Microsoft Office Theme is that EFXT is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file EFXT 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 EFXT 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 Microsoft Office
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Office is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Office in it. 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 EFXT files.
Programs to open EFXT file
Remember to download programs supporting EFXT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Office with EFXT files
If, despite the installed application, the EFXT file does not start in the Microsoft Office application, you must create a file 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Office application as the default for handling the EFXT file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Office to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Office with Microsoft Office Theme there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EFXT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The EFXT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to EFXT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EFXT file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EFXT 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 EFXT 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged EFXT files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EFXT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 EFXT file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the EFXT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
