How to open KPDX file?
The main problem with KeePass Password Database is that the KPDX file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open KPDX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KPDX 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 KeePass Password Safe
In this case, you should first verify that the KeePass Password Safe application is installed on the computer.

Programs to open KPDX file
Remember to download programs supporting KPDX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of KeePass Password Safe with KPDX files
If, despite the installed application, the KPDX file does not start in the KeePass Password Safe application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 KPDX file with the KeePass Password Safe application.
Step 3. Update KeePass Password Safe to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the KeePass Password Safe program, it is possible that KeePass Password Database requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Dominik Reichl page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KPDX 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the KPDX file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the KPDX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected KPDX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of KPDX 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 ability to automatically repair KPDX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file KPDX 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the KPDX file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the KPDX file again. However, some background programs may block the KPDX file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
