How to open PPTXML file?
An often recurring problem with Microsoft Powerpoint XML Presentation is that PPTXML is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file PPTXML to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PPTXML 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 Microsoft PowerPoint
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft PowerPoint is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft PowerPoint 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 PPTXML files.
Programs to open PPTXML file
Remember to download programs supporting PPTXML files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft PowerPoint with PPTXML files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PPTXML file to open in the Microsoft PowerPoint application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. 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 PPTXML file with the Microsoft PowerPoint program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft PowerPoint to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft PowerPoint program with the Microsoft Powerpoint XML Presentation 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 Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PPTXML file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The PPTXML file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PPTXML 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PPTXML or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected PPTXML 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 PPTXML file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PPTXML file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PPTXML 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the PPTXML file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PPTXML file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PPTXML to close. However, some background programs may block the PPTXML file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
