MATLAB Workspace Variable Editor not loading

Hello,

My MATLAB r2024a for some reason is refusing to open my variable editor. It was working fine until recently and just gave up on opening my variable editor. Whenever i double click a variable in the workspace it takes me to this page (see photo) and nothing happens. I am unsure where to go as I have tried re-installing MATLAB to no avail. Have i reinstalled it properly? Is it something related to my account? Any help would be amazing.

Hi Hector,

I understand that when you double click on a variable in MATLAB R2024a Workspace to see the Variable Editor window, the window is not opening.

This issue might be caused due to a corrupted MATLAB Preferences file. If this is the case, then regenerating the MATLAB preferences should resolve the issue.

Please refer to the shared MATLAB answer link on “How do I regenerate my MATLAB preference” for more information: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/99625-how-do-i-regenerate-my-matlab-preferences

I hope this helps.
