Hello Anonymous,

The location(C:\Users\’user name’\AppData\Local\AxCrypt) is for the temporary decrypted copies of the files. Those will either be cleaned automatically at the earliest opportunity or when you click the red clean “broom” icon in AxCrypt.

AxCrypt works by decrypting files temporarily and then launching the appropriate application for the decrypted file, which thus is entirely unaware of AxCrypt. AxCrypt monitors the system for the launched app to exit, and when it detects this it will re-encrypt the file and wipe (overwrite) the decrypted file and then delete it.

Please completely close the encrypted file and corresponding file properly, then you can sign-out/exit from the AxCrypt app.

Note: The temporary files will be removed as soon as the opened encrypted file closed/signed out from the AxCrypt app.

Hello David,

AxCrypt will keep track of the opened encrypted files, to update and re-encrypt the same. If we opened the file and updated the contents, then AxCrypt will re-encrypt the updated file

And the AxCrypt app will be checking whether the opened file and the corresponding application are closed or not. If closed, then the AxCrypt app will automatically update the contents of the file and re-encrypt the same.

Actually, we have to close the file opened application completely, to update and re-encrypt the file. Sometimes, we have to manually click the red Broom icon, to clean and update the pending files.

Please close the encrypted file and corresponding file, Please check the AxCrypt app every time, it will update the file, it’s then you can sign out/exit from the AxCrypt app. Please close all the browser windows also.

If the above doesn’t help, please provide more information about the issue and some screenshots and write a mail to support@axcrypt.net.

Hello deWOZ,

Can you explain please how you have closed the AxCrypt app?

This may be because of AxCrypt is running in the background process. When you close the AxCrypt app, please sign out and then Exit the AxCrypt app.

Please don’t do the task manager and End the process, it may be your file running in the background, and it happens on corrupted/damaged

Hello Frédéric,

We think, your files are not given full permission. Please check and give full access(write/read) for the files

AxCrypt is a file encryption software and it requires a full write access to the path when encrypting/decrypting the files.

Please provide the necessary access(write access for the currently signed in user) to the file path and then try to encrypt/decrypt the files under the specified location.

We also found something in the internet to resolve the same,

Hello David,

AxCrypt will not close the business. Because we are running successfully over 15+ years. Incase if we stopped the business, We have a standalone version and the AxCrypt software is available in other third party websites.

So no need worry for this. But the AxCrypt app does not have a backdoor, means without AxCrypt, you can’t able to open the .axx extension files (which are all encrypted by AxCrypt).

Hello Max,

We wish to add one more info. We need to update the contents of the encrypted files to re-encrypt with the new password. So just update the contents of the previously encrypted files.
Or we will share one workaround – Use the Upgrade files to AES-256 file menu option to re-encrypt all the files with a new password

[Prabhukumar RModerator]

Hello Max,

How long does it take for the update to happen then? -not much time, immediately reflected on your AxCrypt account.

[Prabhukumar RModerator]

Hello Max,

After changing the password, can the files encrypted with the old password still be opened with the old password ?  — No. After changing the password, old encrypted files will open in the new password.

Note that the file can actually still be opened with the original password, since the file encryption key is encrypted with that also, still (until it’s updated).

When you change (not reset) your password for your AxCrypt ID account, *all* files previously encrypted with that AxCrypt ID account will automatically open with the new changed password.
