The latest MT5 update is causing extremely high CPU usage
Manu Tabtim:
Is that Build 6061?
Is this normal behavior for this build?
Manu Tabtim:
If you kill the process and start MT5 again what is happening ?
Hello
MT5 prompted me to update to the latest build (25/07/2026). After starting the update, CPU usage immediately spiked to 100% and stayed there for quite a while.
On a VPS, the update even caused the server to become temporarily unresponsive, making it impossible to connect via Remote Desktop because the MT5 update was consuming all available CPU resources.
Is this normal behavior for this build?

Build 6063 [edit*]
I also tried updating it on my PC, and it didn't use nearly as much CPU.
It seems to happen only on VPSs, where CPU usage stays at 100% throughout the update. I even removed all EAs from the charts before updating.
On some VPSs with only 1 vCPU, the update took almost an hour to complete

Based on a Moderator's latest Release Build archive, you're using a Beta (experimental) Build:
MT5-Last-Official-Release
- angevoyageur
- forge.mql5.io
Provide the executable files to downgrade to the last official release of MT5. Useful after an unexpected update to a beta.

Thanks.
So it took 44 minutes to restart without any intervention on your side ? Or did you restart it manually ?
