The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the X1S 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 X1

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that X1 is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name X1 in it.

Step 2. Create association of X1 with X1S files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the X1S file to open in the X1 application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 X1S file with the X1 program.

Step 3. Update X1 to the latest version

If, however, after binding X1 with X1 Desktop Search Saved Search Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the X1 Technologies, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the X1S file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The X1S file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the X1S file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the X1S file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover X1S 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 X1S 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular X1S file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted X1S files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the X1S 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file X1S to close. However, some background programs may block the X1S file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
