Matlab versions supported on Windows 11?

Has MathWorks announced which versions of MatLab will be supported on Windows 11?

[Ravindranath Sawane]

I am using MATLAB R2021a on my Windows 11 and it is working perfectly fime.

[Monesh Rathod]

yes

[T Bui]

Work fine with R2020b and R2021b

[Marcelo Fajardo]

i have R2020a and b, but none works for me. it opens a window like a cmd but it immediately closes and does not open Matlab

[SUN Maohua]

I have two Windows 11 PCs with Matlab installed, but one of them cannot run Simulink properly due to display error on the dash board controls, i.e. Text boxes, drop down lists, it's very weird, i have to delete the control and undo the delete to make those controls appear properly.

[Vamsi krishna]

yes

There is a related MATLAB Answer: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/1466556-are-mathworks-products-compatible-with-windows-11

As of October 4, 2021: While MathWorks products may work, Windows 11 hasn't been qualified with MathWorks products. There are known issues with Polyspace, some minor issues with Simulink and MATLAB adjacent products.

We will update the Platform Road Map when we support Windows 11: https://www.mathworks.com/support/requirements/platform-road-map.html

Is there a ballpark estimate on when Windows 11 support will be announced? Should we wait a week, a month, 10 years, for new information?

[Walter Roberson]

Ballpark:

I would expect the minor Simulink and MATLAB issues to probably be fixed next release.

Issues having to do with driver details (some of the realtime behaviour) might maybe need to wait for the release after.

Issues with third-party products could take longer.

My guess is that Polyspace will not be fully compliant in the next two releases: Polyspace tries to work towards "provably correct", and that means it has longer testing times.

[Christopher Lanning]

The Platform Road Map has now been updated. Windows 11 is supported by 2021b and later.

Answer 2

[Steven Lord]

The platform road map does not list Windows 11.

[Hans Scharler]

Typo?

[Steven Lord]

At the time I wrote that answer, I'm pretty sure the roadmap didn't list Windows 11. Of course two years later it most certainly does.

Answer 3

[Ahsan Moin]

Hi, MATLAB works perfectly fine on Windows 11. All softwares that work on Windows 10 work on Windows 11 as well.

[Rik]

That is very probably not true. Most software will work from one Windows version to the next, not all. I believe even Windows 8.1 (which was essentially just a big service pack) broke compatibility for some software.

Answer 4

[Wan Ji]

WINDOWS 11 itself should support running the softwares on win10. ELSE microsoft would not release it and clients would not use it

[Walter Roberson]

No, the reason why Microsoft releases different version numbers is that it wants to break compatibility with something; if everything was compatible it would just have released a Windows 10 update.

Answer 5

[Jan]

Windows 11 have not been officially released yet. We and MathWorks cannot know how the final version will work. There have been compatibility restrictions with any new OS in the past and I speculate that this will not change in the future.

Therefore the standard procedure is:

• Do not use a freshly published OS for productive work.
• Wait until MathWorks has tested the setup exhaustively and can provide workarounds for problems.

[Bruce Miller]

With VBS as acomponent of Windows 11, you may run into a similar issue we had with Win 10 here at the University of New Brunswick because the IT Dept enabled VBS as an added security measure. When running !systeminfo a Hypervisor was detected and Simulink would not work . It sounds like this "feature" can be disabled on privately owned computers but institutions that "push" down policies can't be disabled by end users.

[Walter Roberson]

Was the hypervisor issue for Simulink Desktop Real-time?

[Jan]

@Bruce Miller: VBS was "enabled"? This should not cause problems. Do you mean "disabled"?
