How to open KBB file?
The main problem with BestCrypt Key Block Backup is that the KBB file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file KBB to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KBB 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 BestCrypt
In this case, you should first verify that the BestCrypt application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name BestCrypt into the 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 KBB files.
Programs to open KBB file
Remember to download programs supporting KBB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BestCrypt with KBB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the KBB file to open in the BestCrypt 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the KBB file with the BestCrypt program.
Step 3. Update BestCrypt to the latest version
If, despite the association of the BestCrypt program with the BestCrypt Key Block Backup file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KBB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to KBB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our KBB file. Sometimes virus-infected KBB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of KBB 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular KBB file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KBB 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. 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 KBB file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 KBB 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.
