Windows 10 and MT4 compatibility

Hi,

I have been running several MT4 broker accounts on my Windows 7 laptop. After installation of Windows 10 my MT4 accounts cannot remember login credentials any more, i.e. I have to type in my Login and Password manually every time I reboot or exit MT4 platforms. This drives me crazy.

Grateful for any comments/ideas to get this resolved. (And yes, I ticked the "Save Account Information" box).

Many thanks.

Hi All,

I recently upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 and am experiencing a major issue.

Custom Indicators are not working at all and when I attempt to compile anything in MetaEditor I get an "EX4 Write Error".

I have tried everything, from taking ownership of the folders to adjusting permissions and even completely formatting and restoring Windows 10.

If anyone has had similar issues or has any idea at all on how to fix this, I would be extremely grateful.

Thanks in advance,
Jay

I get an "EX4 Write Error".
I guess you use a build 910 MT4.
If you have an old MT4 (build902 or before) backup, copy the old MetaEditor (build1198 on build902) to an new one.
This is a temporary solution, but that error will be gone.

Hi Yasuji,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am using build 910. I unfortunately do not have any previous builds of MT4 that I could use.
Do you perhaps have the files for build 902? Or is there anything else I can try?

Many thanks,
Jay

I have very much the same situation as Jay, none of the mql files that came with the installer will compile, no ex4 file were generated. upgraded to build 920, same issue. Yasuji, u have the older build?

May totally uninstall and reinstall again, gonna be my 5th attempt.

Cheers,

uninstalled and did a clean install produce the same error, no ex4 files were generated and error: "ex4 write error" when manually compile.
Any link to older build of MT4?

I have been using win 10 for almost 2 months now, I have no problems with MT4 so far, but I know there are some people having issues.
I think it all depends on your particular computer, brand, etc, as Microsoft make drivers for all kinds of different computers continiously,
and they release win 10 to them when they think they can provide the drivers needed for that particilar machine.

but they do miss out sometimes,
and there is no drivers for some computers, and these poeple owning these computers are the ones that will get problems,
this will ofcourse be fixed through updates as microsoft gets aware of them in the future.
question is, can you live with it during the time, if it affects mt4 , probably not.
so it really is a bit of a chance taking. if might work but maybe not.
even if you install win 10 and are unhappy with it, it is very easy to revert back to your previous Os,
all it takes is a push of a button.

Be very careful




In the mean time my accounts are operating and I cant control them .

I'm now having to get an IT guy in to try and sort it.

To get any answers out of Microsoft is a major.

If you upgraded to Windows 10 on the same PC, it's very easy to uninstall and go back to win7 or win8.

Not sure if it is a Win 10 specific problem. I normally install MT4 at C:\ (root level). After upgrading the various MT4 instances, I had no issue at all but, now if I want to install a new MT4 instance, it forces to install at C:\Program Files(x86)\<Broker_Name>. Can you guys suggest a way how I can install MT4 at root level. TIA

Has anyone seen an answer to this question?

Basically, how can a 2nd version be installed; Windows 10 does not give an option to choose the install location or name???

Thanks, John
It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.
