What can I do if MetaTrader 4 is not working on Windows 10?
Before we begin, try restarting your PC,checking your internet speed, and checking for pending Windows updates. If you’re still having issues, follow the tips below:
1. Run MetaTrader 4 in compatibility mode
Simply running MetaTrader 4 in compatibility mode should do the trick when it’s not working in Windows 10.
2. Change the file name
A user shared that changing the file name helped when MetaTrader was not working in Windows 10 and threw an error each time.
3. Update MetaTrader 4
4. Perform a network rescan
5. Whitelist MetaTrader 4 in the firewall
Your firewall could often block connection attempts by MetaTrader 4, and it’s, subsequently, not working in Windows 10. So,check if firewall is blocking a program, and then whitelist it to get things running.
6. Uninstall the recent Windows update
If the MetaTrader 4 stopped working after a Windows Update, we recommend you uninstall the recent version and revert to the previous stable one.
7. Reinstall MetaTrader 4 to a different directory
If nothing previously helped, a complete reinstall of MetaTrader 4 should do the trick when it’s not working in Windows 10. Just make sure to delete all associated remnant files before reinstalling the program.
