Can someone help me please. I cant seem to figure out why there are blank window/spaces on my matlab desktop application, when i open it. They move locations everytime i open the applications but i cant get rid of them. I have already tried to trun off all backround applications but its not making a difference... macOS Monterey Version 12.2.1.

Same happens to me. I have not seen any solution. It is frustrating that such an expensive software has this kind or errors.

Hi,
I understand that you come across a blank white window when you open MATLAB Desktop on your Mac and they move locations everytime you open the application.
Try out the following workarounds to resolve the issue:
- Disconnect your VPN if you are connected to one, as the network settings of the VPN may impact MATLAB’s embedded browser.
- If this does not resolve the issue, then execute the following command in the MATLAB command window:
setenv('MW_CEF_ENABLE_BINARY_TRANSPORT ', '0');
- Restart MATLAB after executing the command above. If the problem persists, execute the following commands in the MATLAB command window:
status = connector.ensureServiceOn;
url = sprintf('https://localhost:%s', status.securePort);
system(['"' fullfile(matlabroot, 'bin', 'win64', 'MATLABWindow.exe') '" -url="' '" --proxy-bypass-list=<local>'])

bin/win64/MATLABWindow.exe would be for MS Windows, but the problem is observed on a Mac.
