How to open XBX file?
The main problem with Xbox Icon Or Picture is that the XBX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that XBX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XBX 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 Microsoft XBOX
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft XBOX application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft XBOX in it.

Programs to open XBX file
Remember to download programs supporting XBX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft XBOX with XBX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XBX file still does not use the Microsoft XBOX program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the XBX file with the Microsoft XBOX program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft XBOX to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft XBOX with Xbox Icon Or Picture there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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 XBX 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to XBX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XBX or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected XBX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of XBX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 XBX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted XBX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move XBX to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 XBX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XBX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
