How to open KGE file?

An often recurring problem with KGB Archiver Encrypted Compressed Archive is that KGE is not associated with the correct program file.

Step 1. Install KGB Archiver

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file KGE.

Programs to open KGE file

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

Step 2. Create association of KGB Archiver with KGE files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the KGE file to open in the KGB Archiver 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the KGE file with the KGB Archiver program.

Step 3. Update KGB Archiver to the latest version

If, however, after binding KGB Archiver with KGB Archiver Encrypted Compressed Archive there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Tomasz Pawlak website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KGE 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the KGE file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the KGE file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected KGE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the KGE files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged KGE files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Tomasz Pawlak, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file KGE 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the KGE 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the KGE file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the KGE file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
