Matlab will not start after installing update 5 for Matlab 2022b

3 views (last 30 days)
While installing update 5, matlab got frozen. after restarting the update it finished. However, starting matlab now gets the following error :
Reading mathwork help on the matter seems to suggest to COMPLETELY UNISTALL and REINSTALL of Matlab and all toolboxes. Is there no faster fix ? E.g, to copy over some missing dll's or a 'repair' option for Matlab installer ?

Re-run the update_installer.exe in C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2022b\bin\win64.
For folks using R2023a: the executable has been renamed to MathWorksUpdateInstaller.exe

If it still doesn’t work after updating, you probably need to reinstall, since there’s no other repair option.

identifying the missing parts and finding a source for the exact needed version for them often takes longer than reinstalling.

I have sometimes had this when my anti-virus decided Matlab was a virus. You could check the quarantine (or whatever your AV calls it) to see if you can restore the file and add an exception.
