What is KDE file?

The file in the KDE format belongs to the Encoded Files category. The creator of this file is Kaspersky Labs. In addition to this file, the Encoded Files category includes 236 related files. KryptoStorage Container Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others.

How to open KDE file?

The most common problem when using KryptoStorage Container Format is that a specific KDE is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that KDE 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 KDE 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 Kaspersky KryptoStorage

In this case, you should first verify that the Kaspersky KryptoStorage application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Kaspersky KryptoStorage in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file KDE with Kaspersky KryptoStorage. Below is a list of programs that support the file KDE.

Programs to open KDE file

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

Step 2. Create association of Kaspersky KryptoStorage with KDE files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the KDE file to open in the Kaspersky KryptoStorage application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 KDE file with the Kaspersky KryptoStorage program.

Step 3. Update Kaspersky KryptoStorage to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Kaspersky KryptoStorage program with the KryptoStorage Container Format 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 KDE file

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

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the KDE file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file KDE or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KDE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of KDE 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.
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 KDE file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file KDE except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the KDE file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the KDE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 this does not work either, restart the device.
