How to open ZGK file?
The most common problem when using ZIPGenius Key Format is that a specific ZGK is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that ZGK files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZGK 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 ZipGenius
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ZipGenius is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ZipGenius into the 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 ZGK files.
Programs to open ZGK file
Remember to download programs supporting ZGK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZipGenius with ZGK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ZGK file to open in the ZipGenius 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ZipGenius application as the default for handling the ZGK file.
Step 3. Update ZipGenius to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ZipGenius program with the ZIPGenius Key Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ZipGenius website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZGK 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the ZGK file contents when downloading or copying. 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 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 ZGK or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ZGK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ZGK file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 ZGK files. 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 file ZGK 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the ZGK file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the ZGK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ZGK file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZGK file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
