Case: mt4 1382 win 10

Problem: mw clock freeze untill i move mouse upon window with mt4 terminal, looks like this case lasts from build 1340.

No problem for me with MT4 build 1380 -

You can check the connection of Metatrader with the broker's server :

Looks like the problem with Win compatibility. Timer updated fine 3-4 years ago. I need to move mouse to renew it.

What disk your client is on ? System c ? d ?

Windows 10, disk C.

I will check now:
open MT4 - File (menu) - Open Data Folder -

..or I can check it directly from Metatrader -

The timer does not work during the weekend.

By the way, why do you need timer in the Market Watch?
I do not know anyone who is using this timer in any way ...
It is better to look at the price, and/or use indicator which is showing the time of the broker server (timer), GMT time and local time on the chart.

Adjust Windows compatibility settings: Right-click on the MT4 shortcut or executable file, go to Properties, and under the Compatibility tab, try different compatibility modes such as Windows 7 or Windows 8. Apply the changes and restart MT4 to see if the timer updating issue is resolved

I like when everything works properly. MT4 is open beyond other active windows showing mw timer only.

p.s. i know about weekend timer activity, clock acts differently at working day whereever it`s positioned.

It goes from 1340 and that build is the only reason (
