How to open TKW file?
An often recurring problem with TK Solver is that TKW is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file TKW 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 TKW 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 TK Solver
The first step is to check if the computer has the TK Solver program installed. To do this, enter the name TK Solver into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TKW files.
Programs to open TKW file
Remember to download programs supporting TKW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TK Solver with TKW files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TKW file to open in the TK Solver application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 TKW file with the TK Solver program.
Step 3. Update TK Solver to the latest version
If, despite the association of the TK Solver program with the TK Solver file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Universal Technical Systems, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TKW file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The TKW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to TKW files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TKW or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected TKW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TKW files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TKW files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Universal Technical Systems, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TKW files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the TKW file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the TKW file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TKW to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
