The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TOP 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 Evernote

Programs to open TOP file
Remember to download programs supporting TOP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Evernote with TOP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TOP file still does not use the Evernote program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TOP file with the Evernote program.
Step 3. Update Evernote to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Evernote program, it is possible that Evernote Handwritten Notes And Sketches Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Evernote Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TOP 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 TOP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to TOP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TOP file. However, remember that not every infected TOP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of TOP 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TOP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Evernote Corporation, 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 TOP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move TOP to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TOP to close. However, some background programs may block the TOP file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
