How to open UCT file?
An often recurring problem with UC Browser Theme Format is that UCT is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open UCT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UCT 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 UC Browser
The first step is to check if the computer has the UC Browser program installed. To do this, enter the name UC Browser into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file UCT with UC Browser. Below is a list of programs that support the file UCT.
Programs to open UCT file
Remember to download programs supporting UCT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of UC Browser with UCT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the UCT file still does not use the UC Browser program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 UCT file with the UC Browser program.
Step 3. Update UC Browser to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the UC Browser program, it is possible that UC Browser Theme Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the UCWeb Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UCT 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 UCT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to UCT 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 UCT file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover UCT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the UCT 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 UCT files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact UC Mobile
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted UCT 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move UCT to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the UCT file again. However, some background programs may block the UCT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
