How to open FXF file?
The main problem with BigFix Action Format is that the FXF file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file FXF 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 FXF 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 BigFix Console
The first step is to check if the computer has the BigFix Console program installed. This can be achieved by typing BigFix Console into the operating 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 FXF files.
Programs to open FXF file
Remember to download programs supporting FXF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BigFix Console with FXF files
If, despite the installed application, the FXF file does not start in the BigFix Console 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. 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 FXF file with the BigFix Console program.
Step 3. Update BigFix Console to the latest version
If, however, after binding BigFix Console with BigFix Action Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FXF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't 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 suggests truncating the FXF file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FXF file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FXF 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 FXF 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FXF file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file FXF 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move FXF to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 FXF file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
