How To Fix Access Violation error (Windows)

What is this error?

This is a rare error message that will show up in your "Experts" tab on mt5. This error affects a very small amount of users (usually only Windows 11 users). Typically this error happens because of one or more of these reasons:

  • You are using a special version of MT5 not the official one

  • Your Windows is not fully up to date

  • Your latest version of MT5 is bugged and you need to rollback to a previous version

Make sure your windows is updated to the most recent version:

If you are on Windows 11 that is not version 22621 and above you will need to update your Windows. Please make sure your Windows version is up to date.

Make sure you are using the official MT5 and not a special version:

The indicator can have issues when using a special MT5 version from a 3rd party. We recommend using the official version which you can download here https://www.metatrader5.com/en/download

Rollback your MT5 version:

If you are on the latest version of Windows and you are using the official version of MT5 and you are still having this error, below is a walkthrough on how fix this.

Step 1:

Once the indicator is installed, download the 4344 zip files. Right click on the file and click “EXTRACT”

Once extracted, it will look like this:

Highlight and click copy on ALL THREE of those files.

Once you’ve clicked copy

· Go back to your desktop

· Find the MT5 Icon

· Right click and then click on “Open File Location”

It should now look like this:

Right click and paste the 3 files you just copied and overwrite them into this folder.

When you open MT5 and get this prompt:

IMPORTANT: Click NO every time it should come up.

This message may come up in MT5 at some point. Click LATER every time

MT5 should not update and the indicator will function as usual.
