What is EKS file?
The EKS file has been categorized as Misc Files. The creator of this file is Metapraxis. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files.

The main program that supports this format is Empower. This was created by Metapraxis.
How to open EKS file?
The most common problem when using Metapraxis Empower Data is that a specific EKS is not associated with the program. This causes the file EKS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EKS 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 Empower
In this case, you should first verify that the Empower application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Empower 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 EKS files.
Programs to open EKS file
Remember to download programs supporting EKS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Empower with EKS files
If, despite the installed application, the EKS file does not start in the Empower application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 EKS file with the Empower program.
Step 3. Update Empower to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Empower program, it is possible that Metapraxis Empower Data requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Metapraxis page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EKS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the EKS file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file EKS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected EKS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the EKS files changes over time. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EKS file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Metapraxis
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EKS 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the EKS file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EKS to close. 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.
