How to open XCH file?
The most common problem when using LinkAssistant Project Settings is that a specific XCH is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open XCH, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XCH 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 LinkAssistant
The first step is to check if the computer has the LinkAssistant program installed. This can be achieved by typing LinkAssistant into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file XCH.
Programs to open XCH file
Remember to download programs supporting XCH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LinkAssistant with XCH files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XCH file still does not use the LinkAssistant program, it means no association. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the LinkAssistant application as the default for handling the XCH file.
Step 3. Update LinkAssistant to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the LinkAssistant program, it is possible that LinkAssistant Project Settings requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Link-Assistant.com website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XCH file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to XCH files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XCH or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected XCH file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of XCH file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged XCH files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Link-Assistant.com help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file XCH except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the XCH file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XCH to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XCH file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
