Ticker Utility Bar docks a bar to the edge of your screen and watches your tickers for you. It alerts you when a ticker reaches your point of interest, so you can stay focused on your chart.

The bar shows either always, or only during the sessions you set. If it is set to sessions and it is outside your session times, the bar stays hidden until the next session starts. To show it now, right-click the Ticker Utility Bar icon in the system tray and select Always Show.
When the bar opens, Windows makes room for it at the edge of the screen, and when it closes, Windows gives that space back. Each time, Windows checks in with every open program before carrying on, and a slow program can hold everything up for a few seconds. If this bothers you, set the bar to float instead: Settings, Ticker Bar, then set Position to Floating. A floating bar doesn't take space from the screen, so Windows has nothing to rearrange.
No. A locked or sleeping PC cannot reliably carry out steps such as clicking, typing or focusing a window, so a Hotkey triggered then would likely fail part way. Hotkeys resume their previous state when the PC is unlocked. They do not try to catch up on the runs they missed; each one is marked on the Hotkey as held, or as missed if the PC was asleep, so you can see it did not run.
Yes. Rules keep watching while Windows is locked, and an alert fires at the time its condition is met. When your PC is unlocked, the bar shows what fired, and the Alert History lists every alert with the time it fired. A Hotkey set to run from a rule does not run while the PC is locked, and is not run later.
Sleep is treated as if the app is closed. Nothing runs while the PC sleeps, so no alerts fire and no Hotkeys run. When it wakes, a rule whose condition is now met fires once, marked as having been met while the bar was not watching, because it cannot say when. Its Hotkey does not run, and is switched off, as price may have moved on.
Your browser most likely blocked part of the cTrader sign-in. Authorise opens cTrader's sign-in page in your default browser. If the browser blocks a pop-up or asks permission to continue, the sign-in cannot finish, and Ticker Utility Bar waits until it times out. Select Authorise again, and if your browser shows a pop-up warning or asks you to allow or approve anything, allow it.
The account list appears only after cTrader authorisation completes. If authorisation timed out, see the answer above. Once it completes, choose the live or demo account on Settings - Connections. A free demo account works.
