Hi @Mahamed,

I could suggest few of the troubleshooting steps and check if any of it solves the issue:

1. Navigate to "C:\Program Files\Matlab\R2024b\bin\win64\libmwsimulink.dll" and check if this file exist or not in File Explorer.
2. Check to see if the operating system is the same as the version of MATLAB installed (e.g. win64 matches with 64bit version of MATLAB).
3. Try the following workaround to reset path, and see if this issue get resolved:

% 4.1 Type in the following commands in MATLAB command window:       
restoredefaultpath 
rehash toolboxcache 
sl_refresh_customizations 

If the problem still persists then this looks like a corrupted installation. Try to do a full clean reinstall: uninstall MATLAB, delete all artifacts including prefdir, redownload the installer and re-install.

I hope this helps
