What is TXE file?
The file in the TXE format belongs to the Document Files category. Document Files consists of 574 similar files. Enriched Text appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Linux, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Windows Notepad.

How to open TXE file?
The main problem with Enriched Text is that the TXE file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file TXE to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TXE 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 Windows Notepad
The first step is to check if the computer has the Windows Notepad program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Windows Notepad in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TXE with Windows Notepad. Below is a list of programs that support the file TXE.
Programs to open TXE file
Remember to download programs supporting TXE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Windows Notepad with TXE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TXE file still does not use the Windows Notepad program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Windows Notepad application as the default for handling the TXE file.
Step 3. Update Windows Notepad to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Windows Notepad program, it is possible that Enriched Text requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TXE file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TXE file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TXE or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected TXE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TXE file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TXE file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TXE 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the TXE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TXE file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TXE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
