MT4 Not Updating

Every time I launch my MT4 platform now, Windows UAC says the LiveUpdate wants access, so I click yes, but it doesn't do a single thing! I keep closing and opening the program just for it to ask the same thing every single time.

Is anyone else having this issue?

My broker is OANDA.

Can't help you, however I have had similar issues executing orders with Oanda MT4 today and yesterday. Received several "trade context busy" messages when closing partial orders this morning. It seems when the market is moving quickly, Oanda's servers are frequently overloaded.

Disable UAC.

I don't think UAC is the problem. I've allowed the program access every time it asks for it.

Do you click the update button for mt4 that pops up after uac?

Every time you start MT4, it runs the program LiveUpdate.exe which is used to check if any updates are available. It is not quite clear from your post exactly what the problem is.
Is it liveupdate or UAC that does not do a single thing?
Which program is it you keep opening and closing? MT4, LiveUpdate, UAC?

Some possible solutions:

 

  1. Move/rename/delete LiveUpdate.exe. This will disable MT4's update functionality.
  2. Bypass UAC for the program:

After I click yes on UAC, there is no further prompts.

It's LiveUpdate/MT4 that does nothing (ie. not updating even though LiveUpdate wants access.) LiveUpdate has never prompted me through UAC before, so I can only assume there's an update to MT4 waiting to be issued.

I keep closing and opening MT4 to see if LiveUpdate did its thing, but it never does.

OK, managed to get it to work!

Ran LiveUpdate as administrator, then I ran the terminal as administrator.

Got an update prompt and now running build 402.

I forgot to save a profile (stupid me), so now I need to re-attach all the pairs I was monitor PLUS the templates.

NVM, it seems to have saved itself. Dumb MT4.

Not MT4, but the beauty of Windows 7 ACL, I think.
