How to open MXADDON file?

The most common problem when using Maxthon Add-On Format is that a specific MXADDON is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open MXADDON, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MXADDON 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 Maxthon

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Maxthon is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Maxthon into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MXADDON files.

Programs to open MXADDON file

Remember to download programs supporting MXADDON files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Maxthon with MXADDON files

If, despite the installed application, the MXADDON file does not start in the Maxthon 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. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MXADDON file with the Maxthon program.

Step 3. Update Maxthon to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Maxthon program with the Maxthon Add-On Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Maxthon International Limited page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MXADDON 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 MXADDON file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MXADDON file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MXADDON file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MXADDON file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MXADDON 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MXADDON file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Maxthon International, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MXADDON 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. If possible, you can try to move the MXADDON file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the MXADDON file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
