Executing startup failed in matlabrc "matlabrc at 228 "

5 views (last 30 days)
I have recently updated to matlab2014b and error message below appears everytime I start matlab. I also got some graphic related errors when I tried to plot.
The thing is that when I use it at work with the server license, it works perfectly fine, but my home computer which uses a standalone license gives me this problem, so I'm not sure where the problem is.
The error message is:
Warning: Executing startup failed in matlabrc.
This indicates a potentially serious problem in your MATLAB setup, which should be resolved as soon as possible. Error detected was:
MATLAB:invalidConversion
Conversion to logical from matlab.graphics.GraphicsPlaceholder is not possible.

Do you install ezfit package? I have the same issue in 2014b. Then I updated to 2015a, still shows error message but 2015a reveals more information in the command window: "Undefined function or variable 'efmenu'." This made me doubt that the problem is the installation of Ezyfit menu in figures.

Hi Katie, I have same issue in the MATLAB 2017. I also haven't ezfit package. Can you help me address the issue?

Somewhere in your matlabrc you encounter a construct of the form
if Figure_Handle
(it could be another kind of graphics handle)
That needs to be changed to
if Figure_Handle ~= 0
Check your MATLAB path for matlabrc files, especially ones in third party toolboxes.
