The Add-On Explorer is unavailable for releases R2017a and older.
Furthermore, add-ons and support packages are also no longer supported for R2016b and older. If you would like to use the Add-On Explorer, add-ons, or support packages, you will need to use a newer release of MATLAB. Please go to our downloads page to get a newer release of MATLAB.

Please try to run the following in the MATLAB Command Window:
>> opengl software
And then try opening the Add on explorer again. It worked for me.
If that works, you can save the preference so that MATLAB always opens with Software OpenGL by running:
>> opengl('save','software')
