How to open NKSC file?

The most common problem when using Nikon Capture NX-D Settings Format is that a specific NKSC is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that NKSC files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NKSC 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 Nikon Capture NX-D

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

Step 2. Create association of Nikon Capture NX-D with NKSC files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NKSC file still does not use the Nikon Capture NX-D program, it means no 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NKSC file with the Nikon Capture NX-D application.

Step 3. Update Nikon Capture NX-D to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Nikon Capture NX-D program with the Nikon Capture NX-D Settings 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 Nikon Corporation page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NKSC 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:

The NKSC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to NKSC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NKSC file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected NKSC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of NKSC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NKSC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NKSC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move NKSC to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the NKSC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the NKSC file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
