Change your current directory to something outside your MATLAB installation, ideally somewhere you have write permissions. As one example your tempdir should be outside your installation and you should have write permission to it.

cd(tempdir)

Thanks it helped me too

Microsoft has decided that people should not be able to write into the Program Files folder. I guess to prevent people from corrupting programs. They want you to write data to the Documents folder, or a separate drive.

I have a separate internal drive, D:, for my data. That way if Windows gets all fouled up and I need to reinstall everything, my data will remain safe and intact since it's on a separate drive.

Morning i have the same problem ! i don't clearly understood how to resolve it, please help me

[yousif saffa]

when you start matlab you are located in your default installation are which does not allow you to modify it

instead you must save else where usually an automatic area located in each user files on the c drive C:\Users\Cloud\OneDrive\Documents\MATLAB

you can change it by choosing where you want to go and where you are currently located

or by simply runinng the cd(tempdir) command to run your program on temporary storage
