How to open KBCF file?

An often recurring problem with Knowledge Master Data Format is that KBCF is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open KBCF, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KBCF 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 Knowledge Master

In this case, you should first verify that the Knowledge Master application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Knowledge Master into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file KBCF.

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

Step 2. Create association of Knowledge Master with KBCF files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the KBCF file still does not use the Knowledge Master program, it means no association. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the KBCF file with the Knowledge Master program.

Step 3. Update Knowledge Master to the latest version

If, however, after binding Knowledge Master with Knowledge Master Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Knowledge Master Corporation website or update the program from the application.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The KBCF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to KBCF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the KBCF file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KBCF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the KBCF file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular KBCF 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.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted KBCF 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the KBCF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
