You should not clear the serial object without closing and deleting it first. It is probably happening that you opened the serial object and then deleted the variable. Now it is open in the background, and you cannot connect to it again with s = serialport("COM10",9600). You should first delete all the serial objects.
delete(instrfind)
Then run the script, and always remember to close the serial object after use
s = serialport("COM10",9600);
fopen(s)
writeline(s,'1');
fclose(s)

@Walter Roberson im sorry to bother, but how do you open and close a serialport object then?

serialport objects are automatically opened and cannot be closed, and must instead be deleted to close them.
You can tell that whoever designed the interface never did any serious dial-up work, and that whoever approved the interface was not concerned about Mathworks losing users to other more serious device control products.
