How to open LGK file?
The most common problem when using Microsoft Windows Application Log is that a specific LGK is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that LGK files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LGK 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 Microsoft Windows
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Windows application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Windows 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 LGK with Microsoft Windows. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open LGK files.
Programs to open LGK file
Remember to download programs supporting LGK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows with LGK files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LGK file still does not use the Microsoft Windows program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Windows application as the default for handling the LGK file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Windows program with the Microsoft Windows Application Log file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LGK 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 LGK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to LGK files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LGK file. Sometimes virus-infected LGK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LGK files changes over time. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LGK file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LGK files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the LGK file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LGK to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
