Several InstallMat​hWorksServ​icesHost running and using up CPU

I am facing a problem with my Matlab Installation where the "InstallMathWorksServicesHost" takes up my CPU even when I close Matlab. I tried uninstalling and installing a newer version of Matlab (2024a) but the problem still persists. Any input is highly appreciated.

Hi Ali,

Uninstalling MATLAB and re-installing it might not help, instead you need to remove/uninstall MathWorks Service Host and re-installing it might resolve the issue.

You can refer the following MATLAB Answer Thread to get steps to remove and re-install the service host:

Hope it helps!
