Troubleshoot XXX Files


Frequent XXX Opening Issues

Tesla Decoder Removed

You attempt to load your XXX file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The XXX File Extension". When this happens, it is commonly due to Tesla Decoder missing in %%os%%. The typical path of opening your XXX with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: When another XXX application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Outdated Tesla Decoder

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a TeslaCrypt 3.0 Ransomware Encrypted File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. You will need to download a newer version of Tesla Decoder if you don't have the right version. Your TeslaCrypt 3.0 Ransomware Encrypted File file was probably created by a newer release of Tesla Decoder than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of XXX file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).


Conclusion: The majority of XXX file opening issues are due to not having the correct Tesla Decoder version installed.
