How to update MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 to the latest version

Metaquotes periodically release updates for MT4 and MT5 to fix bugs and launch new features. This article explains how to update to the latest version.

MetaQuotes releases updates to their MT4/MT5 software periodically to fix bugs and introduce new features. This article explains how to update your MT4 / MT5 terminal to the latest version.

To update your MT4 / MT5 terminal, you just need to restart your terminal and accept the update to the latest version after the restart.

Should your terminal not update after the restart, you can either:

  1. Option 1 — Run as administrator:
  • Right click on the MT4 / MT5 icon on your desktop
  • Click "Run as administrator"
  • Click "Yes" on the pop-up message
  • MT4 / MT5 will open and update to the latest version

This update procedure is recommended to ensure that past info & set-ups are not deleted. By reinstalling MT4/MT5 you'd be loosing your setup.

Should these steps not work, you can try Option 2.

  1. Reinstalling MT4 / MT5 software:

If Option 1 does not update the software, you can reinstall the terminal as explained in the MT4/MT5 platform installation guide.

If neither option resolves the issue, please contact our support team for further assistance.

You can also trade directly from the MetaTrader Web terminal without installing any software.
