How to undock windows by deafult?

Recently, I re-installed R2022b on my computer, but all windws are docked after I ran my scripts. They were always undocked previously. I couldn't find any options in Preference to change the setting. I talked with Chatgpt with the answer: set(0, 'DefaultFigureWindowStyle', 'normal'); But it only works inside a script, but not in other scripts. Any help is appreciated!

Manually rearrange as you wish and then exit; it will reload as they were last set.

It did work partially. It seems I have no other choice. Thank you!

What, specifically, have you tried to rearrange and that isn't reproduced? I've never noticed any such behavior with R2021b and R2022b, but then again, I only keep the command window undocked and open; it will restore the editor session as it was if I exit with it open. I don't use any of the other windows normally, so there quite possibly is something in your selection I don't see...

I doubt Mathworks is going to make any changes in these versions other than serious computing bugs, particularly as they have now introduced the new UI so much of what was is no longer so such patches would be of little or no value to the new code base going forward.

But it only works inside a script, but not in other scripts

Once you run it in one script, the effect will persist for the entire Matlab session. To make it persist across future Matlab sessions, put it in your startup script.

I have a group of scripts which connect to each other. Each script will generate a new window. I hope the wondws pop up separately. Anyway, adding it into each script works. Thank you both!
