How to open KNT file?
An often recurring problem with KeyNote Note Format is that KNT is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file KNT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KNT 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 Keynote
In this case, you should first verify that the Keynote application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Keynote into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file KNT with Keynote. Below is a list of programs that support the file KNT.
Programs to open KNT file
Remember to download programs supporting KNT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Keynote with KNT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the KNT file still does not use the Keynote program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 Keynote application as the default for handling the KNT file.
Step 3. Update Keynote to the latest version
If, however, after binding Keynote with KeyNote Note Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Marek Jedlinski website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KNT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The KNT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the KNT file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file KNT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected KNT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of KNT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged KNT files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact KeyNote
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KNT 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the KNT file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the KNT file again. However, some background programs may block the KNT file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
