How to open RK file?
An often recurring problem with WinRK Format Archive is that RK is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file RK to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RK 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 WinRK
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WinRK is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name WinRK into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file RK.
Programs to open RK file
Remember to download programs supporting RK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinRK with RK files
If, despite the installed application, the RK file does not start in the WinRK application, you must create a file 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 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 RK file with the WinRK program.
Step 3. Update WinRK to the latest version
If, however, after binding WinRK with WinRK Format Archive there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RK file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The RK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the RK file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RK file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected RK 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 RK files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RK files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RK 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move RK 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
