Problems with savepath in R2023b

I have just installed R2023b on two different machines. Both give the following problem, when trying to use savepath
>> addpath(pwd)
>> savepath
Warning: Unable to save path to file 'C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2023b\toolbox\local\pathdef.m'. You can save your path to a different location
by calling SAVEPATH with an input argument that specifies the full path. For MATLAB to use that path in future sessions, save the path to
'pathdef.m' in your MATLAB startup folder.
> In savepath (line 238)
Any idea why this warning is issued and how to fix it?

I have a similar problem in that my path is messed up. I just had 2023b installed Monday and I found out yesterday that the command line can't find readlines.m, but when I type 'help readlines' the help portion shows up.

Same issue occurred w/ me running 2023b, Update 6 after a clean install today (05-FEB-2023). Issue may have been the presence of startup.m in the user MATLAB directory.

On Windows to fix it you need to change the Security setup of the file pathdef.m Right Click on file, Properties, Tab Security, Select Users, then click on Edit, Check Full Control, Then Apply.

On a shared system, users should not have write access to pathdef.m inside the MATLAB installation directory.
If this is not a share system, you could try using File Explorer to set you as having write permission to the file. But it being Windows, I do not know if UAC would override that write access since it is a file living inside c:\Program Files . Easiest is to savepath to your userpath . Or change your preferences to point to a different folder; see https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_env/matlab-startup-folder.html

I don't think this is the issue here. There are valid reasons for setting the pathdef for all users and this worked in previous versions given the user attempting to set the path had admin privileges. Now, it prompts for these privileges then throws the warning seen above even when the change is approved.
