Urgent: Encrypted Vault .kde files - Transition to UltraUV does not decrypt existing files

[Trem]

How do I decrypt the .kde vault file and gain back access to my files? These usually open with the kaspersky software + a password but now there is no program that can open them to even decrypt the drive. This is very urgent as there are only 4 more days to resolve this before your 9/29 USA deadline.

Can you at least allow a reinstall to decrypt and then uninstall again?

I uninstalled UltraAV. Kaspersky is still installed. It did not uninstall itself. Then I simply connected each computer I manage via a VPN to a less restrictive nation, and Kaspersky updates and works just as great as it ever has. I'll continue to use Kaspersky.

This didn't work for me. It was uninstalled and doesn't let me redownload the installer from the site because I am in US

Anyone else or mods have thoughts here please?

Hello @Trem, 

Welcome!

1.  Log a request with Kaspersky Customer Service - https://support.kaspersky.com/b2c/ph#contacts -> on the support page, select either Email or Chat, then fill in the template as shown; please include a *detailed history* -> clearly define, the issue is the Secret vault, it's not compatible with UAV conversion, data loss is imminent & it's urgent*
2. *IF requesting Chat - ask the operator to email (you) a copy of the chat transcript *before* ending the chat - otherwise (you'll) have no record of the chat*
3. *Post back the incident request number please? 

Please share the outcome with the Community, when it's available? 
Thank you🙏

Hi Flood,

When I try to submit a chat/email request, after hitting "submit" it just reroutes me back to the original request page. Chat / email doesn't work or seems down. Tried using different browsers and same result. Any idea here?

Tried on my phone as well and same result

Hello @Trem, 

Thank you for posting back & the information!

Post a full-screen screen-print of the page please - including the URL? 

***Additional @Trem, 

Using the solution shared by @roscolo, go to: https://www.kaspersky.com/downloads#update-product - scroll down to lower portion of the page & see KTS can be updated from there? 

Thank you🙏

See attached before and after screenshot for the customer service form

Additionally see the download page with no download button (with my VPN on to the UK)

Got in! Need to use a VPN that ISN'T Kaspersky's (kinda obvious in hindsight). This allows you to redownload the installer and get access to the drive again. Thanks to @Flood and Flood's wife and @roscolo here.
