How to open ENEX file?
An often recurring problem with Evernote Archive is that ENEX is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open ENEX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ENEX 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 Evernote
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Evernote is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Evernote in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ENEX files.
Programs to open ENEX file
Remember to download programs supporting ENEX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Evernote with ENEX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ENEX file still does not use the Evernote program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ENEX file with the Evernote program.
Step 3. Update Evernote to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Evernote program, it is possible that Evernote Archive requires a newer version of the program.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 Evernote Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ENEX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ENEX file. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ENEX file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ENEX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ENEX 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ENEX files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Evernote
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ENEX files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 ENEX file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ENEX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
