VKSaver does not work. Causes

Or you can combine business with pleasure - listen to and download the marked tracks to your computer. It is enough to click the mouse a couple of times, as the track you like is already on your computer. It is for these purposes that the VKSaver program for VK exists, but recently more and more Internet users are asking questions: “ Why does vksaver not work in the new version of VK? There are many reasons for this.

Let's consider the reasons why VKSaver does not work in detail and try to find a solution:

  • Old version... The programmers of the VKontakte social network are constantly improving their brainchild: changing the design, simplifying the interface. Any visual change to the popular network can negatively affect the operation of vksaver. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly update the version of the software installed on the computer, downloading only from the official website. By the way, if you download a program from an unknown source, then at best, you can easily run into a poor-quality assembly, at worst - to pump a lot of viruses. The latest version of VKSaver 4 can be downloaded below the link.
  • About viruses. It happens that viruses on the computer can block the operation of the program, so it is imperative to scan your computer with any antivirus. Sometimes it turns out the other way around, the antivirus blocks the software, considering it a malicious program, but this happens most often if vksaver is downloaded from an unofficial site. Then you need to remove the installed software and download the "licensed" version. If vksaver does not work, then you need to add the program to the antivirus exclusion list.
  • Browser issue. You can try to access the Internet from another browser, as practice shows, Mozilla Firefox can give errors when working with this program. But Chrome and Opera recognize vksaver and complement each other perfectly. So try downloading music from different browsers.
  • Windows version. Unfortunately, the program cannot work on all operating systems. Lucky Windows 10 owners can expect just such a fate. But, the developers are trying to correct this misunderstanding by trying to improve the existing version.


Usually the problem is one thing. Most often - an old version is installed on the computer, which needs to be updated. But, it should not be ruled out that the computer is crammed with viruses and "Trojans".

Not too long ago, the administration

The functioning of the VKsaver program, in principle, proves the truth put forward by the ancient Greek sages that there is nothing ideal in this world. The usefulness of this program is undeniable: with its help, you can save an audio or video file from the VKontakte social network to your desktop in a couple of moments. This is the same "Save" button that you see next to every media file. But over time, a rare user of VKontakte does not face the problem of this program's inactivity. You press the "Save" button and ... nothing happens, the desired file is not installed on the computer.
There may be several reasons for such a nuisance, and you will have to use the exclusion method to identify the one that affected the work of your VKsaver.

So, one day you find that the program is not working. Or it doesn't work from the very moment of installation. This phenomenon is called "non-contact installation". this means that you either installed a cracked version of the program from an unreliable resource, or did the installation incorrectly.
To fix this error, reinstall VKsaver from the official website of the program. Follow the step-by-step instructions and do not forget to close all other windows in your browser before installing. Very often, it is the presence of open windows that is the reason for the non-contact installation of any programs, not only VKsaver.

The second reason is the browser. The fact is that theoretically the VKsaver program interacts with any browser, but in practice it has been noticed that it works seamlessly only in Opera and Chrome, but in Mozilla and especially in Explorer the program often crashes. A solution to the problem may be to install an alternative browser.

The third reason is the blocking of the program by the antivirus. Common antivirus programs, such as Kaspersky and Avast, react normally to the presence of VKsaver, but some specific defenders can block the plugin. There is only one way to check if this phenomenon occurs on your computer - by temporarily disabling the antivirus. If after disabling the program works fine, then you need to either add it to the list of allowed antivirus plugins (through the settings), or if the antivirus refuses to do this, abandon the antivirus itself and put new protection on the computer that will not block VKsaver.

The fourth reason is the infection of your system with a virus or trojan. Usually, malicious programs slow down or block the work of several programs, so if some other programs do not work for you, in addition to VKsaver, you should activate system cleaning from viruses. The overwhelming majority of pests "sail" to a computer with pirated software, so there can be only one prevention - trust only licensed programs.

The fourth reason is the operating system. The situation is the same as with browsers: with some VKsaver wants to cooperate, with others it refuses. In the Windows operating system, VKsaver versions best interact with Vista, XP, 7., with the rest, as they say, 50 to 50. In practice, as a rule, there are very few enthusiasts who are ready to save videos and music from VKontakte reinstall the system.

Very often, users find an interesting video or audio recordings on VKontakte, of course, there is a desire to save them to their computer. However, the social network does not provide standard tools for downloading multimedia materials, so you have to get out in a different way. Of course, you can use the developer's tools and find a link to the entry, open it in a new tab and save from there, but this is very inconvenient and this method should be used only in case of a single download need. If you plan to download data frequently, then you should think about installing additional software.

Here we will describe how to work with one of these utilities, namely, vk saver.

Download and install

First, the user will need to find with download this application... You should be careful and download only from trusted sites, because viruses or programs for hacking accounts often like to disguise themselves under such applications. It would be best not to look for the utility on various third-party sites, but go directly to the official page http://audiovkontakte.ru/ and download it from there, this will help to avoid many future problems.

After that, it will remain just run the downloaded file, the installation itself is not difficult, you just need to follow the instructions of the wizard. Worth choosing incomplete installation, only in the selective one can you uncheck many additional items that rarely need anyone. However, everything may not be as obvious as in the picture, so the user should be more observant, programs begin to hide such options better and better, making the choice more invisible. After all the steps have been passed, all that remains is to wait for the unpacking and installation to finish, and then click on the Finish button. From now on, the program can be used.

How to use vk saver

Now is the time to use the vk saver app. It will need to be started before starting the browser, if it is already running, then you can restart the browser itself. Now all that remains is to log into VKontakte in the usual way, there are no changes at this stage. The user will be able to see them only when he enters the audio recordings or starts the video. Next to music icon appears arrows or a button with the letter S, in different versions of the program may be different. To start downloading, click on this new button.

The story is the same with video files, this button will appear immediately after launch video for viewing. The information will be downloaded in the same quality as the video itself, so you should install it in advance, and then click on the button.

After that, the user will be redirected to another site, where everything is also quite simple. Here you need to click on the download button.

If the download has not started, then you can right-click on the button and select Save As, then specify the path and file format.

VK saver does not work

The program does not always work correctly, in some cases a new button may not appear or may not work, there may be several reasons for this. For starters it's worth check relevance installed utility, this is especially necessary for those who installed the utility a long time ago or downloaded it from third-party sites. In the event that the version number on the official page of the application differs from the one installed by the user, it should be reinstalled.

The second reason may be the presence of viruses on the device that could disrupt the operation of the program. In this case it is worth check the system using their own means, or download portable applications from the doctor of the web or kaspersky and check them with their help.

Also, a common problem can be outdated version the browser itself. Some users may turn off the update, accidentally or intentionally. It is worth going into the information about the program and looking at your version of the browser there, and then finding the newest one on the Internet, if they do not match, then you will have to update the browser. The problem may lie in extensions, for example, ad-blocking extensions can also block VK Saver, so you should disable them and check if the program has worked.

The problem could be incompatibility with the current system user, you should carefully read the requirements on the official website and check the system number with your current OS. In some cases, the utility may block antiviruses or firewalls, to find out for sure, you will need to disable them for a while and use the application. If the problem disappears, then all that remains is to create exceptions in the rules for this program.

Removing VK saver

Someday the saver will no longer be needed by the user and will need to be removed, further it will be written about how to do this.

Standard way

The first method is quite simple, you need to go to control Panel, go to programs and components, then find the utility in the list, left-click on it and click on delete... All that remains is to wait for the process to complete; additional cleaning may be required.

We use third-party software

You can use other utilities, for example, ccleaner, which can be downloaded from https://www.ccleaner.com/en-us/ccleaner/download. Further will remain install and run program. After installation, you need to go to the service, uninstall programs, select the saver in the list and click on uninstall. It remains to wait until the end of the process.

Then you can go to the register and scan your computer, this will get rid of unnecessary entries in the registry.

Disable at startup

If you just want to disable the autostart of the program, you can press win + r and enter msconfig... Then go to the startup tab and find the application there. It will remain to uncheck it and it will stop running at system startup.

Cleaning the registry and leftover files

Any of the methods may leave extra files, so it's worth checking them out. First you should check and delete directories:

  • % Application Data% \ VKSaver
  • C: \ Documents and Settings \ All Users \ Start Menu \ Programs \ VKSaver
  • Key: HKLM \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Run, Value parameter: VKSaver
  • Key: HKLM \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ ESENT \ Process \ VKSaver

Perhaps, in the vastness of our country there is not a single person left who has not been registered or, at least, has not heard about the social network VKontakte. It is not surprising, because the work of this resource is aimed at ensuring that people can communicate with each other, watch films, learn something new from the relevant publics, etc.

However, one of the main functions of this application still remains the ability to play musical compositions, thanks to which the user can create his own personal playlist by selecting those audio files that he likes.


It is not necessary to listen to music on the site itself, at any time you can download it to your computer, and from there, for example, transfer it to the player. However, for this you cannot do without additional progs, and deservedly in the first place in popularity is VKSaver. How VK Saver works for Windows 7, where to download it, I propose and discuss in this material.

Where to find and how to download

This application is not only very easy to use, it is also easy to download and very easy to find on the web. To do this, you need to perform a number of simple actions:

After the program is installed on your computer, you can open the browser you are using. Go to "Audio Recordings" and pay attention to each composition: there on the left side there is a button in the form of an arrow. After clicking on it, the process of downloading a musical composition begins, and then you can do whatever you want with it: listen on a computer, copy to external media, etc.

If VKSaver does not work

It happens that the program for some reason stops working or does not work initially, despite the fact that it was downloaded from an official source. In this case, it is best to uninstall it and reinstall it, perhaps there was just some kind of error. Another effective solution to the problem is to update your browser. In addition, it should be borne in mind that the program is not "friendly" with all web browsers. So, for example, it worked best with Google Chrome, Opera, and worst of all with Mozilla Firefox.

Using VKSaver, you can surround yourself with your favorite music without being tied to the VKontakte social network. She will be with you at any time and in any medium!

It often happens that when you want to download a couple of your favorite tunes again, you suddenly encounter a problem - VKSaver stopped working!

And sometimesVKSaver does not work even if it was just installed... In this case, most likely, the problem is in downloading the program from a third-party site. The solution to this problem is very simple: delete (if the program is still registered) the "wrong" VKSaver and download it from the developer's official website, and then reinstall the correct one.

Remember to follow the instructions! One of the conditions when installing VKSaver is to close all browser windows, which are very often neglected, and in vain! Be sure to close your browsers (and in general all third-party programs are better too), and only then install.

Despite the fact that the developers stubbornly deny such "rumors", users have verified that the VKSaver program may not work correctly in some browsers.

People have found that it works most efficiently in Google Chrome and Opera, but in Mozilla Firefox (for which, fortunately, in the second section of the article, as a last resort, we described the best alternatives) there are often errors. What can I advise here - if you use "firelis" and suffer from errors, then either choose an alternative browser or an alternative to VKSaver, since VKSaver does not work for you or there are problems with it.

It is possible that problems with VKSaver are due to viruses or Trojans on your Windows 7 or Windows 8 computer (here and not only with it, they can start). Be sure to check your computer with an antivirus, do a full scan. If you don't have an antivirus on your computer, install it urgently - again, not only because of VKSaver. Nowadays, a computer without an antivirus must at least not be connected to the Internet in order to remain safe, and in such a computer there is practically no point.

Why vksaver does not work

It should be mentioned that antivirus can also be a hindrance (more precisely, a firewall) in the work of VKSaver. To fix the problems, try to completely disable the antivirus (for a short time) and then check VKSaver. If it starts working fine, customize the exclusion list.

And the last option that is worth noting is that it happens that the problem is related to the OS. The fact is that VKSaver is now available only for Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows XP. At the G8, the program will either not work, or will become very buggy.

What are the alternatives to VKSaver?

Generally, VKSaver Is definitely a fairly useful program. Therefore, among the users of the Russian Internet, the opinion is quite widespread that there is no full-fledged good alternative to it.

This is partly true. Nevertheless, something can be noted.

If you have Firefox- then you can partially replace VKSaver with the add-on Video Downloadhelper, Savefrom.net or Vkontakte.ru Downloader. People use and do not particularly complain about these.

There is also a special player for Vkontakte - VKPlayer... And you do not need to suffer in solving the problem with the work of VKSaver.

If you have an Opera browser, then in general, many good extensions will do - it will take too long to list everything, search for help.

Well, a separate situation for Ubuntu users. The VkAudioSaver program will be indispensable for them. She will help:

  • Download the entire audio;
  • Search, listen to Vkontakte music;
  • Manage playlists.

I hope everyone who has read the article has solved the problem with VKSaver or found an alternative for themselves. If not, ask questions in the comments, we will try to answer them.
