What is TXZ file?
The file in the TXZ format belongs to the Compressed Files category. It was designed by Tukaani. Additionally, the Compressed Files category contains 236 of other files. XZ Compressed Tar Archive appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The The Unarchiver application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Dag ?gren/WAHa.06x36. There are also 4 alternative programs to handle the TXZ file. PeaZip, 7-Zip, XZ Utils, slackpkg will apply when it is not possible to use The Unarchiver.
How to open TXZ file?
The main problem with XZ Compressed Tar Archive is that the TXZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file TXZ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TXZ 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 The Unarchiver
The first step is to check if the computer has the The Unarchiver program installed. To do this, enter the name The Unarchiver into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support TXZ files.
Programs to open TXZ file
Remember to download programs supporting TXZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of The Unarchiver with TXZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TXZ file still does not use the The Unarchiver program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TXZ file with the The Unarchiver program.
Step 3. Update The Unarchiver to the latest version
If, despite the association of the The Unarchiver program with the XZ Compressed Tar Archive file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Dag ?gren/WAHa.06x36 website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TXZ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The TXZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to TXZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TXZ file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected TXZ 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 TXZ files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TXZ files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Tukaani
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TXZ 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. 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 TXZ file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TXZ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TXZ file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
