MATLAB: PC crashes when I press run

MATLABmatlab r2018apc crasheswindows 10

Hello,

I just updated my computer and since I did this my PC crashes every time I try to run a script. I have reinstalled matlab, this didn't help. When I run the script my computer doesn't do anything anymore and doesn't even respond to ctrl+alt+delete or ctrl+f4. Nothing works anymore as soon as I press the run button.

You might be facing the problem caused by recent window 10 update. Refer to the following bug report and download the update for R2018a. https://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/1755918

You can catch such keys in the WindowKeypressFcn. This will help you to identify the names of the pressed keys:

FigH = figure
set(FigH, 'WindowKeyPressFcn', @KeyPress)
function KeyPress(Source, EventData)
disp(EventData)

Another idea is to use the (still undocumented?) "CurrentKey" and "CurrentModifier" properties of the FIGURE.

Thank you! I followed the link, and and ended up solving it with the following code. This is a callback function for ButtonDownFcn in the edit box. Selects all text on a left-click of the mouse.

 %Initialize the java engine 
            import java.awt.*;
            import java.awt.event.*;
            %Create a Robot-object to do the key-pressing
            rob=Robot;
            %Commands for pressing keys:
            % If the text cursor isn't in the edit box allready, then it
            % needs to be placed there for ctrl+a to select the text.
            % Therefore, we make sure the cursor is in the edit box by
            % forcing a mouse button press:
            rob.mousePress(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK );
            rob.mouseRelease(InputEvent.BUTTON1_MASK );
            % CONTROL + A :
            rob.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL)
            rob.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_A)
            rob.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_A)
            rob.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL)
end

Thanks again!
