Matlab 2016b Windows 10 unresponsive constantly

Hey, I had MatLab 2015b earlier and on Windows 10 and it kept getting unresponsive constantly. Now I updated it to 2016b to prevent this but the same just keeps happening. Every time I restart the matlab, it works just fine for a moment but at least after an hour it crashes for sure. Another thing is that it always gets stuck if my computer has been sleeping or hibernating. My hardware Lenovo Yoga 900, anyone else struggling with the same problem or solved this?

Try to find crash dumps in the temporary directory.

You can locate these in case of a crash by following the steps given in this link: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/100816

I found this: Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home Processor ID: x86 Family 6 Model 78 Stepping 3, GenuineIntel Host Name: XXXXXXXXXX Exception in thread "EventMgr Dispatcher"

But I don't think it is the answer, it seems just that the MatLab gets stuck when it is having the "processing" sign under the current folder part active. Sometimes it covers from this and sometimes not.

Actually I checked it now again since it got stuck again after my laptop was on for the night and none of the dumps were created after that.

IT's just that the when it gets stuck, the processing sign gets stuck in gets unresponsive and parts of the window get black and they might update from black if something happens in that area but most likely what happens is that matlab gets stuck. And sometimes it migh still recover from this for a while but is with a lot of lag and will get stuck again.

Now the matlab was stuck for a long period and it recovered, after that it created a log file: Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home Processor ID: x86 Family 6 Model 78 Stepping 3, GenuineIntel Host Name: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Exception in thread "EventMgr Dispatcher"

and I got this into the console:

[Dominic Hink]

I have exactly the same problem, did you find a solution?

[Petri Manninen]

no, I haven't found the solution

Answer 3

[Petri Manninen]

I'm not sure about this yet but I feel that for now it is working for me, I found a setting for Java Heap Memory from the preferences of Matlab and the default value is 384 MB. I increased this value to 1024 MB and at least for now the Matlab has been more stable. I'll inform more when I get more experience with this and if it reveals that it is not helping.
