How do I disable processing... for source control in directories not under source control?

I have a directory I want to use with source control integration, but whenever I change matlab to another directory, there is the processing... that's constantly running in the "Current Folder" window. The problem is that this also causes Matlab to be very slow.

I have this same problem. It was running fine until I updated to 2020a and this processing icon appeared. I can't use MATLAB at all now...

Hi,

this question and the comment might be outdated. However, I was confronted with the same problem today and ended up here. So this might be still interesting.

I found a solution here:

https://de.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_prog/select-or-disable-source-control-system.html

There you find the following solution to disable the source control system:

1. On the Home tab, in the Environment section, click Preferences.
2. In the Preferences dialog box, in the MATLAB > General > Source Control pane, select None.

I also saw that you can also disable auto-refresh of the current folder in the preferences in MATLAB > General, which might be also helpful.
