Step 2. Create association of Yahoo! Widgets with KON files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the KON file to open in the Yahoo! Widgets 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. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the KON file with the Yahoo! Widgets application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KON file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The KON file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the KON file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the KON file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected KON file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of KON 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair KON file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file KON 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 KON file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the KON file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the KON file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
