Step 2. Create association of Galaxkey File Manager with GXK files
If, despite the installed application, the GXK file does not start in the Galaxkey File Manager application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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 GXK file with the Galaxkey File Manager application.
Step 3. Update Galaxkey File Manager to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Galaxkey File Manager program with the Galaxkey Secured Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Galaxkey Limited website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GXK file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the GXK file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GXK or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected GXK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GXK files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GXK files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Galaxkey
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GXK files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the GXK file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GXK to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
