How to open KVK file?
The main problem with Keyman Desktop On Screen Keyboard is that the KVK file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file KVK to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KVK 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Keyman Desktop is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Keyman Desktop in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file KVK with Keyman Desktop. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open KVK files.
Programs to open KVK file
Remember to download programs supporting KVK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Keyman Desktop with KVK files
If, despite the installed application, the KVK file does not start in the Keyman Desktop application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 KVK file with the Keyman Desktop application.
Step 3. Update Keyman Desktop to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Keyman Desktop program with the Keyman Desktop On Screen Keyboard file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Tavultesoft page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KVK 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 suggests truncating the KVK file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our KVK file. Sometimes virus-infected KVK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of KVK 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular KVK 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 can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file KVK 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move KVK to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the KVK file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
