Starting MATLAB

Getting MATLAB to Start Up Faster

Here are some things that you can do to make MATLAB start up faster.

• Make sure toolbox path caching is enabled.
• Make sure that the system on which MATLAB is running has enough RAM.
• Choose only the windows you need in the MATLAB desktop.
• Close the Help browser before exiting MATLAB. When you start your next session, MATLAB will not open the Help browser, and thus will start faster.
• If disconnected from the network, check the LM_LICENSE_FILE variable. See http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/data/25731.html for a more detailed explanation.

For more information: See Reduced Startup Time with Toolbox Path Caching in the MATLAB Desktop Tools and Development Environment documentation.
