How to open KWS file?
An often recurring problem with KeyWallet Skin is that KWS is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open KWS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KWS 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 KeyWallet
The first step is to check if the computer has the KeyWallet program installed. This can be achieved by typing KeyWallet into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file KWS with KeyWallet. Below you will find a list of applications that support KWS files.
Programs to open KWS file
Remember to download programs supporting KWS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of KeyWallet with KWS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the KWS file to open in the KeyWallet application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 KWS file with the KeyWallet application.
Step 3. Update KeyWallet to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the KeyWallet program, it is possible that KeyWallet Skin requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the KeyWallet GbR. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KWS file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. 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 KWS file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the KWS file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KWS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of KWS 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair KWS file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact KeyWallet GbR.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted KWS 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the KWS 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. 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 KWS file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
