How to open XLE file?

The most common problem when using Cooktop Format is that a specific XLE is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that XLE 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 XLE 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 Cooktop

The first step is to check if the computer has the Cooktop program installed. This can be achieved by typing Cooktop into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file XLE.

Programs to open XLE file

Remember to download programs supporting XLE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Cooktop with XLE files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XLE file still does not use the Cooktop 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the XLE file with the Cooktop application.

Step 3. Update Cooktop to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Cooktop program with the Cooktop Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XLE 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 XLE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to XLE 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our XLE file. However, remember that not every infected XLE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XLE files changes over time. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged XLE files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted XLE 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the XLE file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XLE file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
