How to trouble shoot a crashing error upon startup of Matlab?

Hello, I've been using Matlab consistently on on my laptop for the past year. But in the last couple of days it has been crashing immediately upon openning. And by that I mean that I'll try to run matlab.exe and all that happens is that the icon flashes very briefly in the task bar at the bottom of the screen. No error message is given. So it seems to me like Matlab is crashing before it even has a chance to bring up the logo. It started with 2018b, then I updated to 2019a, then I uninstalled both 2018b and 2019a and did a reinstall of 2019a. I restarted my computer in between each, but the issue is still occuring. I have also tried running in admin mode. I'm running windows 10.

EDIT: I fixed the issue following steps found here:
