How to open HKX file?
An often recurring problem with Skyrim Animation is that HKX is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that HKX 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 HKX 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 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Programs to open HKX file
Remember to download programs supporting HKX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim with HKX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HKX file still does not use the The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim application as the default for handling the HKX file.
Step 3. Update The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim program, it is possible that Skyrim Animation requires a newer version of the program.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 Bethesda Softworks LLC page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HKX 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HKX 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. 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 HKX file. Sometimes virus-infected HKX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of HKX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 HKX files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Bethesda Softworks LLC
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HKX 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the HKX 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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the HKX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
