that is weird alright, but not first time i see it.
only way to fix it is to copy those files from another platform. you may need to install mt5 again to get those files.
It is a good idea too -- do a virus scan of your computer pronto, asap, as a virus will often cause such things. but can be just a corrupted install of mt5 too -- which is more likely the cause of the corrupted mqh files.
or get older versions of the exe files here -- and then steal/copy the mqh files from the new instance of mt5 without using a full installer.

Hello everyone.
Please i just encountered a strange behavior with the include files.
As shown in the image, it show garbage as source file/code.
while including any of them in a program, bring up an error, as a result of an abnormal source file.
Thanks for your opinion and suggestions
