Help takes forever to load and I get a Java related error

Hello, I get an error when I call the help function. The error message is below

Not sure exactly what is causing this.

I appreciate your help.

It looks to me like this error is occuring because JxBrowser does not have the proper permissions for a file it needs access to in your temporary directory; I have a few ideas that might work.

1) You can try manually changing the permissions for the file (or the directory that contains it) listed in the error message.

2) If that doesn't work or is not possible given your system setup, you can specify an alternative location with the proper permissions as your temporary directory in your java.opts file as explained here:

http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_env/java-opts-file.html

Specifically, you will need to set the following property:

-Djava.io.tmpdir

You can query the value of your temporary directory using the following command in MATLAB to ensure that the change took place:

>> java.lang.System.getProperty('java.io.tmpdir');

3) As a third option, you can switch to a different version of the default renderer for your help browser by executing the following command in MATLAB:

>> com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HtmlComponentFactory.setDefaultType('HTMLPANEL');

4) You can also try changing the renderer altogether with this command:

>> webutils.htmlrenderer(‘basic’);

I hope this helps!

Dylan Wolff, I recommend that you post that as an Answer.

Hi Dylan,

Thanks a lot for your help. Changing the default renderer version did the trick. I hope it doesn't have an effect on performance.

Walter, I'd like to mark Dylan's comment as the answer. Do you know how to do that?

[Walter Roberson]

Dylan will need to enter the comment as an Answer for it to be accepted.

[Dylan Wolff]

I'm glad it helped Mohamed! I just added the comment as an answer. Thanks for pointing that out Walter!

you may also run Matlab as admin BR Michel

I started having the same problem after a Win10 update, which for some reason messed up the permissions of the user Temp folder.

What helped in my case was to go to the folder specified in the error (C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\), go to its properties > Security tab > Advanced, and allow full control.

Be advised that this solution requires admin permissions on the system.
