How to open QTX file?
The most common problem when using QuickTime Extension is that a specific QTX is not associated with the program. This causes the file QTX 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 QTX 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 QuickTime Player

The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name QuickTime Player in it.

Programs to open QTX file
Remember to download programs supporting QTX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of QuickTime Player with QTX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the QTX file still does not use the QuickTime Player program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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 select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the QTX file with the QuickTime Player application.
Step 3. Update QuickTime Player to the latest version
If, despite the association of the QuickTime Player program with the QuickTime Extension file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Apple, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QTX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The QTX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to QTX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file QTX or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover QTX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of QTX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair QTX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Apple
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file QTX 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.
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 QTX file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the QTX file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
