MATLAB takes long executing simple commands

Hi all,

I have recently installed MATLAB 2016 on my Windows 10 machine and I'm facing slow responses at two levels:

1) When I press the Enter key in the command window, even for simple commands like '1+3', it sometimes takes a few seconds for the command to start. The same delay exists for running scripts via F9. Once the command is executed, it can be run immediately again (it looks like some caching mechanism...).

2) MATLAB also takes a relatively long time to start up.

I used to have MATLAB 2013b on the same machine and I didn't have these problems.

Can anyone please help specially with the first issue?

Thanks a lot, Reza

I suggest using

 rehash toolboxcache

This doesn't help much with the slow startup but the command execution (by pressing enter) seems to be a little faster only for the active MATLAB session. If I close MATLAB and restart it the commands remain slow...
