Permanently Unodock Command Window Matlab 2025b

I would like to start my Matlab 2025b with the command window undocked by default.
This is possible for the editor but not for the command wiindow.
Can I configure this?
There is a command that I can use to do so programmatically?

This should work (though I haven't tried this on R2025b, since I don't have it) :-
1) Undock command window (Ctrl+Shift+U has worked for me)
2) Save your layout (Home -> Environment -> Layout)
3) Make the saved layout your default layout.
Thanks, for your suggestion.
Anyway, this in 2025b requires me everytime I start Matlab to apply a saved layout.
It would be good if I can have this automatically run in my startup.m.

If you change to the default layout?
"It would be good if I can have this automatically run in my startup.m."
I doubt whether one can achieve the same programmatically.
In R2025a, when you opened a new MATLAB session, it opened with the layout that was there when you ended the previous session.
"When you end a session, MATLAB saves the current desktop layout. The next time you start MATLAB, the desktop appears as you left it."
The same isn't documented for R2025b.
Yes, this does not happen in 2025b unless i am doing something stupid.

Meybe this i spossible but I cannot find it in the documentation.

This hasn't been done in versions upto and including R2025a.
"The same isn't documented for R2025b."
I stand corrected, it seems I mis-read. That documentation states the changes from R2025a onwards.
So you should be able to do that. If you can't, maybe you should contact support - Contact Support
Ok, I will try to conact support
cheers
