Programs to open HSK file

Step 2. Create association of Text editor with HSK files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HSK file to open in the Text editor application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The HSK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the HSK file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HSK file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected HSK file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HSK file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HSK files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted HSK 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. 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 HSK file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HSK to close. However, some background programs may block the HSK file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
