Hi all,

I’ve been experiencing a weird problem starting in the last 2 days. When go to a certain directory in Matlab, it doesn’t show any of the files in that directory. Moreover, using the dir() command for that directory doesn’t show any files.

I know the directory exists and there are files in it because I can access it through the normal Windows file explorer (see image below).

A few additional details. The directory I’m trying to access is a network drive. However, I can still access other network drives from Matlab and other PCs on the same network are able to view the directory in Matlab. This makes me think its something specific to Matlab on my PC with this directory (although I’m having the same issue on my personal laptop). I’m using a Windows 10 PC and Matlab 2017a.

I’ve already tried restarting matlab, my pc, disconnecting and reconnecting the drive. I have not tried reinstalling Matlab yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
