Where can I see in the Matlab GUI which Update has been applied?

I have Matlab R2019a installed, and I attempted to apply update 5.

So far as I know, the update was applied correctly. Aside from checking if the bug was fixed, is there some place in the Matlab GUI that shows which Update I am on? Will it show in the Matlab->Help?

Click on the Help icon in the top toolbar, then About MATLAB. The version, Update, and other information will be displayed in the upper left corner of the displayed image.

FYI the information displayed by ver and version also includes which Update you're using. [I'd advise you not to try to programmatically parse and use this information, but it would be useful for including if you report an issue to Technical Support.]

My Help->About only shows the version: R2019b (9.7.0.1190202)

Unless the update version is buried in the 1190202 somehow, like maybe casting out 9's.

Neither "ver" nor "version" show the update version either:

>> ver

MATLAB Version: 9.7.0.1190202 (R2019b)

MATLAB License Number: xxxxxxxx

MATLAB Version 9.7 (R2019b)

I attempted to use updates 5, 4, and 3 and all were not valid for this version of MATLAB.
