Programs to open GKF file
Remember to download programs supporting GKF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GAUSS Products with GKF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GKF file to open in the GAUSS Products application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GKF 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 GKF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GKF file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GKF or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected GKF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of GKF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 GKF files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Aptech Systems, Inc help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GKF 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move GKF to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the GKF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GKF to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GKF file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
