What is KCH file?
The file with the extension KCH is the Document Files file type. It was designed by Ark Angles. Additionally, the Document Files category contains 574 of other files. KChess Notation is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is KChest. This was created by Ark Angles.
How to open KCH file?
The most common problem when using KChess Notation is that a specific KCH is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that KCH files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KCH 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 KChest
The first step is to check if the computer has the KChest program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name KChest in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file KCH with KChest. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open KCH files.
Programs to open KCH file
Remember to download programs supporting KCH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of KChest with KCH files
If, despite the installed application, the KCH file does not start in the KChest application, you must create a file 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 select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the KChest application as the default for handling the KCH file.
Step 3. Update KChest to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the KChest program, it is possible that KChess Notation requires a newer version of the program.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 Ark Angles page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KCH file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the KCH file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our KCH file. Sometimes virus-infected KCH files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of KCH file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular KCH file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Ark Angles help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KCH 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 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. Copying the KCH file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the KCH file again. 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.
