How to open NKSN file?
The main problem with Native Instruments Kontakt Settings Format is that the NKSN file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file NKSN 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 NKSN 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 KONTAKT

Programs to open NKSN file
Remember to download programs supporting NKSN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of KONTAKT with NKSN files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NKSN file to open in the KONTAKT 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 NKSN file with the KONTAKT program.
Step 3. Update KONTAKT to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the KONTAKT program, it is possible that Native Instruments Kontakt Settings Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Native Instruments, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NKSN file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NKSN file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file NKSN or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected NKSN file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NKSN file. 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 option of recovering data from damaged NKSN files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NKSN 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.
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. It is best to move NKSN to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NKSN to close. However, some background programs may block the NKSN file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
