Programs to open LAK file
Remember to download programs supporting LAK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Kashmir with LAK files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LAK file still does not use the Kashmir program, it means no association. 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 LAK file with the Kashmir application.
Step 3. Update Kashmir to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Kashmir program, it is possible that Kashmir requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LAK 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 LAK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the LAK 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LAK or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected LAK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of LAK 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LAK file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file LAK 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 LAK to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the LAK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the LAK file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
