Hi showshowsc,

It appears that the issue might be related to installed compiler for C++ not supported for the installed MATLAB release. Kindly verify that you have installed the appropriate version of MinGW-w64 according to your version of MATLAB. You may refer refer to the Supported Compilers Page to check this :

https://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers

You can use the following command in Command Prompt in the MinGW bin directories to check the installed MinGW version :

>> cd C:\mingw64\bin
>> gcc --version

You may refer to the following MATLAB Answer to know more about installation of MinGW compiler:
