How do I activate a live editor file (*.mlx) (which is frozen, no response, no editing allowed)?

A recently saved *.mlx file appears "frozen", not allowing editing.

How can I make it active?

Hi,

If the MATLAB live editor isn't responding due to invalid preferences, you can try resetting them with the following steps:

• Open the MATLAB command window and execute:

prefdir

• This will show the path to your preferences directory.
• Navigate to this directory and back up all its contents by copying them to a safe location.
• Delete everything in the preferences directory.
• Restart MATLAB

I hope this helps!
