Why MATLAB is unable to open my system web browser?

I installed a toolbox and after the complete insatallation I opend a link in Add-on Explorer. MATALB is showing an error/warning: "MATLAB was unable to resolve the URL and open it in the browser" and "Invalid white space". I am also not able to access the MATLAB documentation thorugh MATLAB search barr. How can I resolve this issue?

Hey Aditya,

This might be due to rendering issues in browser based frameworks, try launching applications and changing the HTML Renderer. Launch other MATLAB Applications that use web browser technologies:

>> appdesigner

or the "System Identification" app for example from the "Apps" tab in the toolstrip. If these applications do not open up, try changing the HTML renderer using one of the following commands (please restart MATLAB after changing the HTML renderer for the new setting to take effect) and see if it resolves the issue (note that this is unnecessary when investigating issues with "MATLABWindow" because they use a different technology stack):

>> webutils.htmlrenderer('basic'); % This command tell MATLAB to use ICE browser which will result in a more stable, although cosmetically degraded experience when using the documentation center.
>> webutils.htmlrenderer('chromium');
>> webutils.htmlrenderer('mozilla'); % Only on MAC or 32-bit Window
>> webutils.htmlrenderer('ie'); % Only on 64-bit Windows
>> webutils.htmlrenderer('safari'); % Only on MAC

And revert back to default using:

>> webutils.htmlrenderer('default')
