How can I download the new version?

If you have MT4 installed so you can connect with MetaQuotes-Demo server (open demo account with MetaQuotes), and wait for updates.
If the update is not started so - close MT4 and open it once again to force updates.

I think - it is the better to do it during the weekend.

I have Windows 10 64-Bit.  It may have been an update that took out the function I was used to having.  Not sure how it did it but will keep looking for a workaround or a fix. 
Thank you for your input Sergey.

I contacted my broker MyFXChoice and they were able to get me going by having me choose another data center.  Down in the lower right corner where it shows the upload/download KB.  We did this and also reloaded the MT4.  That got the features that were gone to reappear.

Build 1280 glitch from July 24, 2020 MT4?

Go to MetaTrader 5, please.

Our MetaTrader 4 demo server is practically out of service and will be shut down soon.

But I think that the brokers will continue to support MT4.

I have a running EA. iRSI code doesn't work on demo/real trading  EA after 1280 update. It works perfectly on 1260. It doesn't show any error or warning when I compile. RSI in EA works perfect only in backtesting of 1280. What to do?
