When using MATLAB Desktop from home, good internet connection and a computer with similar performance as your computer in the office is key.

Here are some known issues for working from home without well preparation:

1) MATLAB startup performance issue

This happens when MATLAB attempt to access files / license from network drives with slow connection. For details and workaround, refer to:

2) Simulink crashing after long time running

Likely caused by insufficient memory. To workaround, refer to:

3) Failure during online update or unexpected behavior after installing update

Slow or unstable connection may cause this issue. To solve it, refer to:

4) Error message of port 31515 when launching Appdesiner, Simulink or some other features

Might be caused by VPN or proxy. To have more information, refer to:
