Is it possible to attach to an existing instance (not started by MATLAB) of PowerPoint under Win10 (Matlab R2015b/64)?. I have had no success with actxGetRunningServer – says PPT not running – if I start PPT in the normal way from the Windows GUI then try to attach to it. This was possible under W7. Also, the running instance (not started by MATLAB) prevents actxserver from completing so I have to tell the user to quit the existing instance then start the automation server.
