The .AU3 file extension is associated with AutoIt v3 Script, an automation scripting language. It is a small, freeware, BASIC-like scripting language designed specifically for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting. With AutoIt, users can automate mouse clicks, keystrokes and window manipulation on Windows-based machines that are running Windows 95, 98, Me, NT4, 2000, XP, Vista and 7. It is used in combination with AutoIt to write short programs aimed to control the operation of a computer by simulating keystrokes and mouse movements.
When using AutoIt to create scripts, users will save their project as a .AU3 file. This allows the script to be edited in the AutoIt Interactive Development Environment (Ide), which is a freeware GUI editor designed for AutoIt V3. It scans all files available on the computer so that the user can easily identify which scripts to modify or remove. By using a text editor and setting an appropriate association via File Extensions dialogue box in Windows, the .AU3 files can be opened and edited manually. Users should keep in mind that any changes made should be saved immediately to ensure changes are kept.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .AU3) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .AU3 extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .AU3 file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .AU3 extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .AU3 extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .AU3 file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .AU3 file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .AU3 file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .AU3 file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .AU3 file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
