What is FCHC file?
The FCHC file has been categorized as Misc Files. The creator of this file is Fetch Softworks. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Fetch Cache is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Mac OS systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use Fetch to handle this file. This is a program created by Fetch Softworks.
How to open FCHC file?
The most common problem when using Fetch Cache is that a specific FCHC is not associated with the program. This causes the file FCHC 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 FCHC 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 Fetch
The first step is to check if the computer has the Fetch program installed. This can be achieved by typing Fetch into the operating system search engine. 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 FCHC files.
Programs to open FCHC file
Remember to download programs supporting FCHC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Fetch with FCHC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FCHC file still does not use the Fetch program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FCHC file with the Fetch program.
Step 3. Update Fetch to the latest version
If, however, after binding Fetch with Fetch Cache 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 Fetch Softworks website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FCHC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to FCHC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 FCHC file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected FCHC 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 FCHC files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FCHC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Fetch Softworks
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FCHC 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the FCHC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FCHC file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
