How to open MKLK file?
The main problem with Cyberlink DirectZone Menu Settings Format is that the MKLK file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file MKLK to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MKLK 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 Cyberlink PowerDirector
In this case, you should first verify that the Cyberlink PowerDirector application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Cyberlink PowerDirector into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open MKLK file
Remember to download programs supporting MKLK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cyberlink PowerDirector with MKLK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MKLK file to open in the Cyberlink PowerDirector application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Cyberlink PowerDirector application as the default for handling the MKLK file.
Step 3. Update Cyberlink PowerDirector to the latest version
If, however, after binding Cyberlink PowerDirector with Cyberlink DirectZone Menu Settings Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the CyberLink Corp. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MKLK file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The MKLK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MKLK 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MKLK or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MKLK 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 MKLK 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MKLK files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MKLK files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move MKLK to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the MKLK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MKLK file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
