What is ONX file?
The file with the extension ONX is the Graphic Files file type. The creator of this file is Onyx Computing, Inc.. Graphic Files consists of 524 similar files.

It is recommended to use OnyxGRASS to handle this file. This is a program created by Onyx Computing, Inc..
How to open ONX file?
An often recurring problem with OnyxGrass Image is that ONX is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that ONX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ONX 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 OnyxGRASS
The first step is to check if the computer has the OnyxGRASS program installed. To do this, enter the name OnyxGRASS into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ONX with OnyxGRASS. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ONX files.
Programs to open ONX file
Remember to download programs supporting ONX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of OnyxGRASS with ONX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ONX file still does not use the OnyxGRASS program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the OnyxGRASS application as the default for handling the ONX file.
Step 3. Update OnyxGRASS to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the OnyxGRASS program, it is possible that OnyxGrass Image requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Onyx Computing, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ONX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to ONX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ONX file. However, remember that not every infected ONX 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 ONX files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ONX files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Onyx Computing, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ONX 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the ONX file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ONX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ONX file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ONX file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
