How to open TKR file?
An often recurring problem with Tinker Custom Level Format is that TKR is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that TKR files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TKR 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 Tinker
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Tinker program installed. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Tinker into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TKR files.
Programs to open TKR file
Remember to download programs supporting TKR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Tinker with TKR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TKR file still does not use the Microsoft Tinker program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TKR file with the Microsoft Tinker application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Tinker to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Tinker program with the Tinker Custom Level Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TKR file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TKR file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 TKR or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected TKR 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 TKR files changes over time. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TKR file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TKR 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move TKR to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the TKR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TKR file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TKR file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
