XLAUNCH file extension
The XLAUNCH file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the XLAUNCH files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the XLAUNCH file on each system platform.
What is XLAUNCH file?
The file in the XLAUNCH format belongs to the Settings Files category. Settings Files consists of 1305 similar files. Xlaunch Settings Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The Xming X Server application is recommended to open the file. It was released by SourceForge.net.
How to open XLAUNCH file?
The main problem with Xlaunch Settings Format is that the XLAUNCH file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file XLAUNCH to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XLAUNCH 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 Xming X Server
In this case, you should first verify that the Xming X Server application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Xming X Server into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open XLAUNCH files.
Programs to open XLAUNCH file
Remember to download programs supporting XLAUNCH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Xming X Server with XLAUNCH files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XLAUNCH file to open in the Xming X Server 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. 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 XLAUNCH file with the Xming X Server program.
Step 3. Update Xming X Server to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Xming X Server program, it is possible that Xlaunch Settings Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the SourceForge.net website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XLAUNCH file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XLAUNCH file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our XLAUNCH file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XLAUNCH files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of XLAUNCH 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XLAUNCH file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XLAUNCH 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the XLAUNCH file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the XLAUNCH file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XLAUNCH file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XLAUNCH file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
