Hello everyone,
I was using MATLAB R2025a and found a notification about an available update. I clicked the update option, and it seemed to install successfully. MATLAB restarted automatically after the update, but now it gets stuck on the "Initializing" screen and never fully launches.
OS: Windows 11
MATLAB version: R2025a (after applying the latest update)
No error message appears, it just hangs at initialization.
I’ve tried restarting my computer, but the problem persists.
Has anyone experienced this issue? Are there recommended steps to fix it (e.g., clearing cache, resetting preferences, safe mode, or rolling back the update)?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
