Issue running standalone application compiled in MATLAB 2026a

I have a collection of Matlab scripts including GUI that I package as standalone Windows application for sharing. Previously, I used R2024a for compiling and packaging with no issue.

When I compile/package the same scripts with R2026a, I get the following error before the GUI loads. Has anyone run into same issue? If so, any clue on how to fix it?

Warning: Update encountered failures.

The error above is displayed when the application is compiled as console application. When the same is complied with no-console, the splash screen shows up and then disappears. I have to force close it from Task manager.

Initially, I had minimal MCR packaged with the installer but installing full version of MCR made no difference. The same executable, when run from Matlab command with bang operator (!appname) runs without any issue. So, I am lost on where to look at.

Thanks
