Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to GSK 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GSK file. However, remember that not every infected GSK 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 GSK files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GSK file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GSK files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the GSK file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the GSK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GSK file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GSK file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
