Disabling MT5 liveupdates (currently working approach)?

[Bodolino]

Hello everybody,

you probably know the issue, too: MT5 updates itself and more often than not your EAs and Indicators stop working upon the automatic Terminal restart (although in theory they should and sometimes also do resume operation). It's a disaster when that happens.

And although a hack for that problem has already been found (https://forum.communitypowerea.com/en/communities/7/topics/449-how-to-disable-liveupdate-in-metatrader-5), this no longer seems to work, as under the current MT5 build 4061, that liveupdate-folder seems to no longer be there (I, however, still found it right there under the past build 4040, so this seems changed).

So my question is: how can we disable liveupdates under the current MT5 build? And how do we install updates manually — just run the MT5-installer over an existing installation?

Thanks!
