How to open SCHK file?
The most common problem when using SortSite Site Data Format is that a specific SCHK is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that SCHK files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SCHK 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 SortSite
The first step is to check if the computer has the SortSite program installed. To do this, enter the name SortSite into the system search engine.

Programs to open SCHK file
Remember to download programs supporting SCHK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SortSite with SCHK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SCHK file to open in the SortSite 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 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. 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 SCHK file with the SortSite program.
Step 3. Update SortSite to the latest version
If, however, after binding SortSite with SortSite Site Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the PowerMapper Software page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SCHK 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 SCHK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SCHK files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 SCHK file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SCHK files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SCHK file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
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 option of recovering data from damaged SCHK files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SCHK 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SCHK file to another location will fix the problem.
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 SCHK file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SCHK file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
