WFX Troubleshooting


Frequent WFX Opening Issues

Adobe Creative Cloud Disappeared

When trying to open your WFX file, you get the error "Can't Open WFX File Type". If so, it typically means that you don't have Adobe Creative Cloud installed for %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your WFX with Adobe Creative Cloud, so double-clicking the file won't work.


Tip: If you don't have Adobe Creative Cloud installed, and you know of another program to open your WFX file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Incorrect Adobe Creative Cloud Version

Sometimes your installed version of Adobe Creative Cloud won't support your Adobe User Keyboard Shortcut Settings file. You will need to download a newer version of Adobe Creative Cloud if you don't have the right version. The primary cause of this problem is that your Adobe User Keyboard Shortcut Settings file was created by a different (newer) version of Adobe Creative Cloud than what's installed.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your WFX file and clicking "Properties".


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening WFX files are due to having the wrong version of Adobe Creative Cloud installed.


More Causes of Problems Opening WFXs

Assuming you have the right Adobe Creative Cloud version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening WFX files. Other WFX opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. These issues include:

  • Invalid WFX file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
  • The WFX file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • Partial installation of Adobe Creative Cloud that did not fully complete
  • WFX file corruption
  • Past or present virus infection has affected your WFX
  • Device drivers of the hardware associated with your WFX file are corrupt or out-of-date
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your Adobe User Keyboard Shortcut Settings file
