What is MCXML file?
The file with the extension MCXML is the Settings Files file type. It was designed by Microsoft Corporation. Additionally, the Settings Files category contains 1305 of other files. Microsoft Office 2013 XML Settings is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.

How to open MCXML file?
An often recurring problem with Microsoft Office 2013 XML Settings is that MCXML is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file MCXML 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 MCXML 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 Office
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Office program installed. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Office 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 MCXML with Microsoft Office. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MCXML files.
Programs to open MCXML file
Remember to download programs supporting MCXML files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Office with MCXML files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MCXML file still does not use the Microsoft Office program, it means no 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MCXML file with the Microsoft Office program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Office to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Office program with the Microsoft Office 2013 XML Settings file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MCXML file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The MCXML file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MCXML file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MCXML or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MCXML files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MCXML files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MCXML file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MCXML 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.
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 MCXML file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MCXML file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MCXML 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.
