I want to be able to update MetaTrader whenever I want, not be forced to do so.

Gentlemen, how are you? I hope you're well.

Here's my question: I'd prefer not to be forced to update MetaTrader 5 every time an update comes out, like the one from this past weekend which basically had a problem because the update didn't "sign/recognize the developer" and Windows wouldn't open the file.

I made the change in Windows and solved the problem, but it's something I don't want to worry about. I just want to get MT5 running and have control over the updates. I know I can just click "later," but that "later" option always appears.

I just want my EAs running and to update on the weekend, for example. Is this possible? If so, how do I do it?
Thank you in advance for your attention and help.

May God and your families be with you all.

It only updates on start. Don't close the terminal until “the weekend, for example.”
It's not possible.

If you install the custom/branded MT5 terminal from your broker's website, will only be updated to major stable updates and not to any minor beta builds.

For example the MT5 terminal that I have installed from my broker was using the last 5660 stable build since February and on Saturday was updated to 5800.

The default MetaQuotes MT5 terminal, follows all minor updates.
