Step 2. Create association of My Notes Keeper with MNK files
If, despite the installed application, the MNK file does not start in the My Notes Keeper application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MNK file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MNK file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MNK or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MNK files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of MNK file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MNK file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MNK 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the MNK file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MNK file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MNK file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
