Could machine reboot cause loss of Matlab path?

I use savepath to save my MATLAB path, which contains many directories. Last night Windows automatically rebooted my computer after installing updates (I have since turned this option off). MATLAB was open at the time of the reboot. In the morning, my path was missing many directories; I had to rebuild my path. Could a system reboot delete directories from my MATLAB path?

It shouldn't. However, if you called savepath() while running MATLAB not as an admin, the path might not save. Make sure to run MATLAB as an admin (right click: run as admin) in order to make sure your path saves.

No. When you want to make permanent path changes you should. Temporary path changes etc. should be fine.
