How to open QKEX file?
The most common problem when using QuicKeys Mac Extension is that a specific QKEX is not associated with the program. This causes the file QKEX 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 QKEX 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 QuicKeys
In this case, you should first verify that the QuicKeys application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing QuicKeys into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file QKEX with QuicKeys. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open QKEX files.
Programs to open QKEX file
Remember to download programs supporting QKEX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QuicKeys with QKEX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the QKEX file still does not use the QuicKeys program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 QKEX file with the QuicKeys program.
Step 3. Update QuicKeys to the latest version
If, however, after binding QuicKeys with QuicKeys Mac Extension there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Startly Technologies, LLC. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QKEX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the QKEX file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our QKEX file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover QKEX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of QKEX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged QKEX files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Startly Technologies, LLC., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted QKEX 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the QKEX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file QKEX to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
