The CPE file extension is related to a Microsoft Fax Cover Page file. CPE files are created by Microsoft Windows for use with their fax software. However, Microsoft no longer supports their fax software. There is no native way to open .cpe files in the latest versions of Windows. Here are some options for trying to open and view .cpe files:
1) Use a .cpe file opener, converter, viewer or editor. Some free online tools can allow you to view, edit, convert or merge .cpe files without installing anything.
2) Associate .cpe files with another application. On Windows, right-click a .cpe file, choose “Open with” and select a different program. Check “Always use this app” for .cpe files. However, other programs may not fully support the .cpe format.
3) Update the software you used to open .cpe files previously. But if it’s the old Microsoft Fax software, updates likely won’t be available.
4) Check if the file has viruses with an antivirus program like Norton or Nod32. Viruses could sometimes prevent .cpe files from opening properly.
The .cpe file format was developed by Microsoft. It is associated with 137 other file types but is not commonly found on most devices today. We hope this information helps explain what .cpe files are and provides some troubleshooting tips.
