Cannot run newly installed MATLAB 2017b?

I previously had r2015a installed on my computer and needed to update simulink. When I opened it up, I got this error:

if true
Attempt to execute SCRIPT settings as a function:

>>   end

I cannot run anything or open any files.

Rename or remove the script file C:\User\Documents\MATLAB\settings.m.
