Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KT2 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the KT2 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the KT2 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected KT2 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 KT2 file. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged KT2 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Native Instruments help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted KT2 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. Copying the KT2 file to another location will fix the problem.
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 you have to wait for the session to the file KT2 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the KT2 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
