When I double-click any Simulink .slx file, MATLAB opens, but it only stays in the Command Window without launching the Simulink Editor window to display the model.
I’ve already made sure that MATLAB is set as the default program to open .slx files in the Windows settings. The file icon also shows the MATLAB logo, and when I double-click, it does open MATLAB — but it doesn’t automatically open the Simulink model in the Simulink Editor.
How can I fix this behavior and make .slx files open directly in the Simulink Editor when double-clicked, as expected?
I’m using MATLAB R2022b on Windows, with MATLAB installed on a drive other than C:, but all cache and preferences are still located in C:Users<user>AppDataLocalMathWorks as usual.When I double-click any Simulink .slx file, MATLAB opens, but it only stays in the Command Window without launching the Simulink Editor window to display the model.
