MT5 Window Disappeared? How to Get It Back
Camovia Tray Team · 2026-08-12
Bottom line: a "disappeared" MT5 window usually falls into one of four cases - minimized to the tray, hidden by a tool, moved off-screen, or an abnormal process. Go through them one by one and you will get it back.
Sometimes the MT5 main window simply seems gone: no taskbar entry, nothing on the desktop. Don't panic - in the vast majority of cases it is easy to restore.
Case 1: Minimized to the system tray
MT5 can collapse its window to the tray area. Check the tray at the bottom-right corner (the little arrow next to the clock) for an MT5 icon - double-click or click it to restore.
Case 2: Hidden by a tool
If you hid MT5 with a tray tool like Camovia Tray, choose "Show Terminal" from the tray menu and the window comes right back.
Case 3: The window moved off-screen
Unplugging a monitor or changing resolution can push the window beyond the visible area. Press Alt + Space to open the window system menu, pick "Move", then use the arrow keys to drag the window back into view.
Case 4: Abnormal process
If none of the above works, find the MetaTrader process in Task Manager, end it, and restart MT5.
