Question: How to update MT4 & MT5 trading platforms to the latest version?
MT4 platform automatically updates whenever there is a new version released by Meta Quotes.
Live updates failing to run automatically are commonly due to restrictions in Windows.
Users of Windows Vista, Windows 7 or up will need to make sure MT4 is set to Run as an Administrator so that it can perform the live updates automatically as required.
To run the platform as administrator, right-click on your desktop icon, and click Run as administrator. When you re-open MT4 you will be prompted to complete a Live Update.
