How to open FCXU file?

The main problem with FileCapsule Deluxe is that the FCXU file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that FCXU files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FCXU 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 FileCapsule Deluxe

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that FileCapsule Deluxe is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name FileCapsule Deluxe in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support FCXU files.

Programs to open FCXU file

Remember to download programs supporting FCXU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of FileCapsule Deluxe with FCXU files

If, despite the installed application, the FCXU file does not start in the FileCapsule Deluxe 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. 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. 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 FCXU file with the FileCapsule Deluxe application.

Step 3. Update FileCapsule Deluxe to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the FileCapsule Deluxe program, it is possible that FileCapsule Deluxe requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SPIRIT website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FCXU file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to FCXU 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FCXU file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FCXU files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FCXU files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 FCXU files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SPIRIT
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file FCXU 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move FCXU 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. 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 FCXU file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
