Matlab doesn't open

I'm using matalb R2023a, is was working fine on my computer few days ago. But now since some hours when I start the app it's not opening , noting is being displayed. Although is shows it task manager, matlab is not appearing on my screen .

I've already tried resintalling and also solutions here, but still I can't solve the issue. Any guidance. Thanks

maybe you can see it on the taskbar? it may be off screen. if thhis is the case, try right click on matlab on the taskbar -> maximize

on win11 you have to ctrl+shift+right click

Hi Kodjovi,

It is my understanding that you are facing issues with opening MATLAB R2023a. Here are a few troubleshooting steps that you can follow to solve this issue.

1. Use MATLAB's Start Flags

You can try to start MATLAB with certain flags to see if that resolves the issue:

• Press Win + R, type cmd, and press Enter to open the Command Prompt.
• Navigate to your MATLAB installation's bin directory using the cd command in Command Prompt. For example:

cd "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2023a\bin"

• Start MATLAB with the "-nodesktop" flag by typing matlab -nodesktop and pressing Enter. This will start MATLAB without its desktop environment. If it starts, there might be an issue with the graphical interface.

2. Run MATLAB as Administrator:

• Right click on MATLAB from the StartMenu.
• Select "Run as administrator" from the context menu.

3. Restart your computer and launch MATLAB again. Go to task manager and end the process if it is running without opening and displaying on the screen.

4. Check if your computer is using a proxy server when connected to a WiFi network. It might interfere with MATLAB's licensing or startup.

Hope this helps!
