How to open GXKEY file?

The most common problem when using GameEx Registy Data Format is that a specific GXKEY is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that GXKEY files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GXKEY 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 GameEx

The first step is to check if the computer has the GameEx program installed. To do this, enter the name GameEx into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file GXKEY with GameEx. Below you will find a list of applications that support GXKEY files.

Programs to open GXKEY file

Remember to download programs supporting GXKEY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of GameEx with GXKEY files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GXKEY file to open in the GameEx application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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 select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the GameEx application as the default for handling the GXKEY file.

Step 3. Update GameEx to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the GameEx program, it is possible that GameEx Registy Data Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Spesoft Limted page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GXKEY file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GXKEY file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GXKEY file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GXKEY files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GXKEY files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 GXKEY file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GXKEY 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the GXKEY file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. 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 GXKEY file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
