How to open GQSX file?
The main problem with Microsoft Office SmartArt Styles Format is that the GQSX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that GQSX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GQSX 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 Microsoft Office
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Office program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Office in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file GQSX with Microsoft Office. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open GQSX files.
Programs to open GQSX file
Remember to download programs supporting GQSX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Office with GQSX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GQSX file to open in the Microsoft Office application, but you can set it manually. 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 select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the GQSX file with the Microsoft Office program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Office to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Office with Microsoft Office SmartArt Styles Format 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 Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GQSX 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 GQSX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 GQSX or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected GQSX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GQSX 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GQSX files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GQSX 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 GQSX to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the GQSX file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
