MATLAB: Does MATLAB crash on startup with the error: “Application Failed to Initialize Properly (0xc00000006)”

Question

When starting MATLAB on Windows, I get the following error:

 Application Failed to Initialize Properly (0xc00000006)

MATLAB fails to start thereafter.

Answer 1

This error means that a fatal error occurred in the course of reading a page from disk and placing it in memory. The only workaround to this issue is to uninstall and reinstall MATLAB. Once reinstalled, you should be able to start MATLAB.
