MATLABWindow.exe crashes when closing app or app creator

Hey folks,

We've started getting a strange set of error messages (see attached) each time we close a UI app, or when closing the App Creator... it doesn't seem to cause any problems, with MATLAB continuing to run fine, and we can reopen the apps just fine afterwords - just annoying! It happens each and every time we perform these actions, with this error message coming up twice in a row before disappearing... Anyone know what could cause this?

EDIT: I've just found out that a colleague is experiencing the same issue in 2018b

I beileve this is a bug with 2017b. I faced a similar issue when I used app.delete; to close my app. Have you tired installing the latest update for 2107b (Update 9)?

Hi Arvind,

Thanks for the reply :-) I'm afraid I don't know which update version we have, and I don't think we're able to update the package ourselves... However I just found out just now that my colleague, who's using 2018b, has also seen the same issue :-(

[Arvind Sathyanarayanan]

Thats interesting. Is this the same app thats causing a crash in 2018b? Have you tried any of the MATLAB demo apps?

[Daniel Nimmo]

I've just had a look - it is the same app on both versions of MATLAB that caused the initial problem.

Additionally, I've just checked and the System Identification and Signal Analyser apps cause the same problems, which the SimBiology, MATLAB Coder and Optimization apps don't (out of the "sample" I tested just there)

I think your best course of action would be to call the Mathworks techinical support.

Yep, I feared as much :-( cheers for your help!
