How to open WKF file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WKF 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 KF Web Server
The first step is to check if the computer has the KF Web Server program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name KF Web Server in it.

Programs to open WKF file
Remember to download programs supporting WKF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of KF Web Server with WKF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WKF file to open in the KF Web Server application, but you can set it manually. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the KF Web Server application as the default for handling the WKF file.
Step 3. Update KF Web Server to the latest version
If, despite the association of the KF Web Server program with the KF Web Server Default Control file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the KeyFocus Ltd. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WKF 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to WKF 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WKF or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WKF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WKF file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WKF file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact KeyFocus Ltd.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted WKF 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the WKF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the WKF file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
