MATLAB: Is Matlab slow on brand new laptop

Question

I've bought a brand new computer with high performance with Windows 10, and installed MATLAB R2014b (8.4.0.150421) and I am experiencing very slow performance. 

I have checked the Benchmark (using bench command). In most of items, it seems it's fast except for ODE and 2-D. I had a similar laptop but 3 years older than this with a Windows 7 and it was faster than this new one.

Answer 1

This issue is likely due to MATLAB being run with compatibility mode for Windows 8. 

Removing the compatibility mode resolves this issue. 

Please refer the online resource to run a program with/without compatibility mode:
