How to open KHD file?
An often recurring problem with Dynamics AX Kernel Help Data Format is that KHD is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file KHD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KHD 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 Microsoft Dynamics AX
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Dynamics AX is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Dynamics AX in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file KHD with Microsoft Dynamics AX. Below is a list of programs that support the file KHD.
Programs to open KHD file
Remember to download programs supporting KHD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Dynamics AX with KHD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the KHD file still does not use the Microsoft Dynamics AX program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Dynamics AX application as the default for handling the KHD file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Dynamics AX to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Dynamics AX program with the Dynamics AX Kernel Help Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KHD file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to KHD 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 computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 KHD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected KHD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the KHD file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
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 KHD file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted KHD files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the KHD file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file KHD to close. 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.
