How to open HCKX file?
An often recurring problem with Windows Hardware Certification Kit Package Format is that HCKX is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that HCKX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HCKX 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 Windows
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Windows program installed. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Windows into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support HCKX files.
Programs to open HCKX file
Remember to download programs supporting HCKX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows with HCKX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HCKX file to open in the Microsoft Windows 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. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the HCKX file with the Microsoft Windows application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Windows with Windows Hardware Certification Kit Package 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 HCKX 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HCKX file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HCKX file. Sometimes virus-infected HCKX 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 HCKX 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HCKX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HCKX 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the HCKX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the HCKX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HCKX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HCKX file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
