Post-Installation Tasks

After you install and activation MathWorks® software, there are some optional tasks you can do to customize your installation. For example, you can specify the MATLAB® startup folder. For information about these options, see the installation documentation. This section describes some additional post-installation tasks.

Configure the MATLAB Startup Accelerator

When you install MathWorks products on your computer, the installation includes a utility program that can speed up MATLAB startup, called the MATLAB Startup Accelerator. By default, the installer configures this utility as a scheduled task on your computer that runs several times each day. (For information about changing this default behavior, see Install without Configuring the MATLAB Startup Accelerator.)



Change When the MATLAB Startup Accelerator Runs


  1. Start the Windows Task Scheduler. On the Windows Start menu, search for the phrase "task scheduler" and press Enter.

  2. Click Task Scheduler Library in the Console tree to view scheduled tasks and double-click MATLAB R2013b Startup Accelerator to change the configuration.

  3. To change when the task is scheduled to start, click the Trigger tab in the task properties dialog box. In the list of triggers displayed, select the trigger you want to change, and click Edit. (To add a new trigger, click New. To delete a trigger, select the trigger and click Delete.)
