What is a CCH file?

CCH files mostly belong to .NET Framework. CCH files serve different roles based on the application that created them.
The primary use is as a cached configuration file for the .NET Framework. In this role, the file stores preprocessed configuration settings (known as the Component Configuration Cache) to help programs load faster.
Other common uses include:
  • Cached JPEG image data file: This type stores image data in the JFIF format. It is used by systems like the CCH Decoder to cache and quickly retrieve JPEG image content.
  • Corel Chart Data File: Some CCH files are created by CorelCHART. They may embed data in the TIFF format, acting as a storage file for chart details. Additional information is available at Corel.
  • rFactor 2 career file: These files hold career progress for the rFactor 2 game, also known as the rFactor 2 Championship File.
    • FilExt.com tip: Each CCH file is meant to be used with the software that created it. A basic text editor might reveal meaningful content in configuration cache files, while other types may need specialized viewers or the original application to display data properly.

    How to open CCH files

    You need a suitable software like .NET Framework to open a CCH file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your CCH file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a CCH file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

    Programs that open and convert CCH files:

    1. .NET Framework
      See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. CCH files are often referred to as .NET Framework settings because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
    2. .NET (Configuration and Security Policy File) by Microsoft Corporation
      The .NET Framework stores security policies in XML files. These files are backed up and restored as ordinary files. All these files have a .CONFIG file name extension. While several .CONFIG files exist on all systems, additional .CONFIG files may be created when applications are added or new trust levels are defined. The files that have the extension .CCH are dynamically generated and do not have to be backed up or restored. You may find some files that have numbers appended to their .CCH extensions. When you try to make backups of these files, you may receive errors because the files are in use. You must not make backups of these files because these files are cache files.

    How to solve problems with CCH files

    • Associate the CCH file extension with the correct application.
    • Update your software that should actually open cache files. Because only the current version supports the latest CCH file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available .NET Framework update.
    • To make sure that your CCH file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
