I have a few demos with different brokers that, all of the platforms were screaming for somer sort of update since the last few days, when i open any platform a popup screen from windows appears, asking if i allow the program mt4 to make changes to the computer, and below that it says something about the file origin. at the end of the path i read updateadmin or something similar. Well, i refused the first few times as i know that mt4 updates are not for the good most of the time, and today decided to give it a go and allow the update. so i clicked yes instead of no. and nothing happened, no screen, not anything, with the only exception that from now on i cannot open the platform. when i double click the mt4 exe it does nothing... it does not open. i restarted the computer and it does the same thing, i cannot open the platform. i opened another demo platform with another broker which was asking for the same thing, i also clicked ok and allowed intervention there and now i cannot open both of the platforms... I also have a live account and am afraid that i wont be able to access if i do the update there also. the first demo that i cannot no longer open is one of my oldest with lots of interesting data , but maybe i dont have the password anymore. So i am losing it if i have to reinstall, which is really sad for me. Any suggestions how to deal with that last shitty situation presented by metatrader.?? I am totally pissed off by there stupid updates and changes that do nothing except making it harder to do trading.

It's starting to become difficult 
Have you an imported DLL in the libraires folder ?If yes, you could try to rename them.
Have you any crashlog.log file in the log folder, if so, looking into it could maybe help.
A final and easier solution could maybe to start with a new fresh installation. Log into your broker account and download again the MT4 installer, then install again using a different folder than the default. If you have several accounts with several brokers do the same operation for each broker.

Yes, if you have so many eas and indis, I bet it's one of them that crashes your terminal.
I think that you will have to go with a fresh install for each one of your brokers and then add one by one your eas/indis until you find the culprit.
Good luck

2) Then i go to the individual folder in programfilesx86 and click uninstall exe, but then it says this>
Now it is getting even more weird.. I deinstalled all the platforms from the uninstall exe files (found the solution to the problem on google), and then manually deleted all of the remaining folders (even the terminal folders at app data roaming folder in users... I made a brand new fresh install on fxopen mt4 platform and when i tried to run it it does the exact same thing.. It thinks for few seconds, the mouse pointer is spinning, then a white page appears for parts of a second and it crashes.....

I think that at that point, it would be better to ask to somebody who knows something about IT to help you solve your problem.

I have no idea if it would work or not, but have you tried a system restore to a point before you allowed the update?
, I've been very frustrated as I'm having a similar issue. Mine is with an indicator. I noticed it is the only indicator that stops working when I allowed changes to my device. While troubleshooting, I tried a system restore, and it worked fine. Due to some technicalities that same day, my Windows got corrupted and had to do a full restore. Now no matter how many times I do the restore the indicator doesn't load. For reference indicator name is ProfitMaker king of pips.
