The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KMX 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 Keyman Desktop

Programs to open KMX file
Remember to download programs supporting KMX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Keyman Desktop with KMX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the KMX file to open in the Keyman Desktop 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Keyman Desktop application as the default for handling the KMX file.
Step 3. Update Keyman Desktop to the latest version
If, however, after binding Keyman Desktop with Keyman Desktop Compiled Keyboard 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 Tavultesoft website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KMX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to KMX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our KMX file. However, remember that not every infected KMX 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 KMX file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular KMX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Tavultesoft, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KMX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move KMX to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the KMX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the KMX 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.
