Impossible to reinstall Service Host after uninstalling

Hello. I have a real big problem.

On my Windows 11 account, which is admin account, I followed the steps to Uninstall and Reinstall the Mathworks Service host as here described.

https://it.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/1815365-how-do-i-uninstall-and-reinstall-mathworks-service-host

Well, after done all the passages, is not possible anymore to reinstall the Service Host and so to get access to Matlab software at all (versione 2023b). Indeed, I tried also to uninstall and reinstall Matlab software from the beginning, but it gives me this error:

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/1815390-why-do-i-receive-error-5202-unable-to-access-services-required-to-run-matlab

If I try to open the .exe file of the Matlab Connector, it simply doesn't open, nothing happens.

I don't know which solution to adopt. I already checked all my permissione, admin configuration, I followed step by step the advice, buy now I find myself without any possibility to use Matlab, after I followed the instructions on the first link.

Can anyone help? thanks so much!

Hi Fransec,

The resource you referenced has been updated by the MathWorks team: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/1815365-how-do-i-uninstall-and-reinstall-mathworks-service-host

These steps proved effective for me:

1. Kill any active MathWorksServiceHost processes.
2. Delete the directories %LOCALAPPDATA%\MathWorks\ServiceHost and %LOCALAPPDATA%\MathWorks\MATLABConnector (Note that these folders may be hidden, so ensure you've enabled the option to see hidden folders).

Should that approach fail, consider uninstalling and deleting all MathWorks Service Host-related directories and files.

If issues persist, feel free to reach out to the MathWorks Support Team via this link:https://www.mathworks.com/support/contact_us.html

I hope this answers your query.
