Installation of Windows 10 October 2018 Update will reset all trading account passwords stored on your computer

On October 2, Microsoft officially released another major operating system update - Windows 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809). When you install this update, the configuration and encryption keys will be changed, as it happens when installing a new Windows OS. Unfortunately, the installation of the Windows 10 October 2018 Update will result in the fact that all the passwords to the trading accounts stored on the computer will become invalid. We ask you to prepare in advance and keep the passwords in a safe place in order to have access to the platform after the upgrade. In addition to resetting passwords, changing encryption keys will make it impossible to launch installed applications from the Market and will require new activation, since all products will also be tied to the operating system. MetaQuotes will automatically add one activation for each purchased product regardless of the operating system used, as was done earlier after the release of Windows 10 April 2018 Update. Thus, you will not lose your activation after the update on Windows 10 October 2018 Update. Demo versions of products will also lose activation, they will just need to be re-downloaded from Market.
