matlab parpool too slow to open

Hi

Why does parpool take so long to open, especially on windows? On linux it opens fast within a minute, but in windows 10 it takes about 8-10 minutes.

I am running just the following command on 'local' machine with MATLAB R2020b

tic
p = parpool(54)
toc

My computer has 2 NUMA nodes, dual boot (windows,linux)

I know similar question was asked multiple times on this platform but none of them seem to provide any solution

How long does MATLAB usually take to startup? Are you seeing delays as well? I find delays in parpool tend to be correlated to checkout time of a license. I would suggest contacting Technical Support ([e-mail]) to help troubleshoot some ideas.

Hi @Raymond Norris

I dont see delay in matlab startup. It takes roughly about half a minute
