What is a VSTX file?
VSTX files are mainly associated with one of the components of Microsoft Office called Microsoft Visio. It is an application for creating diagrams and diagrams. VSTX files are used to store templates on the basis of which you can create ready-made projects in the program. This allows you to create projects faster. However, you should choose a template that corresponds to the structure of the expected final project.
VSTX files are used in Microsoft Visio version 2013, and ready-made diagrams and diagrams are stored in VSDX files as vector graphics.

How to open VSTX files
If you cannot open the VSTX file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports VSTX among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the VSTX file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the VSTX format files
The inability to open and operate the VSTX file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Microsoft Visio 2013 Template Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a VSTX file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the VSTX file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the VSTX from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the VSTX format
- The VSTX file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the VSTX file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a VSTX file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the VSTX file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the VSTX file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the VSTX file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.VSTX) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected VSTX file. From the drop-down menu select "Choose default program", then click "Browse" and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the VSTX file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. VSTX) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
