Recently, I needed to use Matlab for experiments, but after downloading Matlab, I found that the software started very slowly, taking an average of four to five minutes. It was so slow that I could play a game or browse the Tieba forum during that time. It's really inconvenient when I suddenly need to access experimental data.

I found a method online that can significantly increase the startup speed.

1. First, locate the Matlab license file, which is the .lic file located in the licenses folder in the Matlab root directory. It looks like this:

2. Copy the address of this file, then open the properties of the Matlab shortcut and find the "Target" field.

3. Add -c "{the address of the .lic file you just copied}" to the end of the address in the Target field. For example:

Finally, click Save.

After testing, this method can reduce the software startup time from 4 minutes and 36 seconds to just 7 seconds.
