Troubleshooting Problems Opening XBX Files


Typical XBX Opening Challenges

Microsoft XBOX Disappeared

When you double-click your XBX file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to Microsoft XBOX missing in %%os%%. The typical path of opening your XBX with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.


Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your XBX, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Wrong Version of Microsoft XBOX is Installed

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Xbox Icon Or Picture file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft XBOX installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This issue mainly occurs when your Xbox Icon Or Picture file was created by a newer version of Microsoft XBOX than you have on your PC.


Tip: Right-clicking on your XBX, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


Primarily, problems experienced when opening XBX files are due to having the incorrect version of Microsoft XBOX installed on your computer.


Other XBX File Issues

Assuming you have the right Microsoft XBOX version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening XBX files. Other XBX opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Other contributing causes:

  • XBX file type Registry entries are wrong
  • Corruption of the XBX file description inside the Registry

  • Your XBX file is corrupted (issues with your Xbox Icon Or Picture file itself)
