PQA File Extension

How to open PQA file?

After double-clicking on the unknown file icon, the system should open it in the default software that supports it. If this does not happen, download and install the Novell ZENworks Suite software and then manually associate the file with it.

Step 1. Download and install Novell ZENworks Suite

If there is no Novell ZENworks Suite or similar software in the system that supports files with the PQA extension, you must first download and install it. Below you will find a list of the most-used applications that work with PQA. After going to the subpage of the program you will find a link to the developer's website, where you can safely download the software installer.

Step 2. Associate Novell ZENworks Suite with the PQA file extension

If the user already has one of the applications installed, the next step will be to associate it with the file extension PQA. This can be done in two ways - one is to manually edit the Windows Registry and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT keys. The second way is simpler and definitely recommended for less advanced users.

• Right click on the unknown PQA file you want to open
• Select "Open with" from the menu
• Click "Choose another application"
• Click "More applications"
• Click "Find more applications on this PC" and indicate the installation location of the appropriate program
• Finally, select the "Always use the selected program to open PQA files" option and confirm the whole operation.

Remember! Manually editing the system registry is only recommended for advanced users, and changes made to it without proper knowledge may result in damage to the system.

Step 3. Check out other possible problems related to PQA files.

Sometimes it happens that despite having the right application and the correct configuration, there are still problems with opening the PQA files. You should then find out what is the reason of the problem.

• Check if the PQA file is not infected - When the file PQA is infected with a virus or malware, it probably will not be able to be opened correctly. In this case, scan the PQA file and take the actions recommended by the antivirus program installed on the system. Most often it is disinfection or deletion of an infected file.
• Check if you, as the operating system user, have appropriate permissions to work with the file PQA
• Check if the icon is an element of the correct file but not only a shortcut to the location where the PQA file no longer exists.
• Check that the system has the necessary resources to run the Novell ZENworks Suite application and open the PQA file.
• Check if the file is complete - Sometimes it happens that the PQA file was not copied completely from the external Flash memory, or downloaded from the Internet. When the file is incomplete, it is not possible to open it correctly. In this case, please download or copy the file PQA again.

Step 4. Contact an IT expert

When all of the above methods have failed, it remains to contact an IT specialist or developers of the NOVELL ZENWORKS SUITE program.
