std:exception Insufficient system resources

Caught "std::exception" Exception message is:

An error occurred while initializing child process: While attempting to execute "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2022b\bin\win64\mwdocsearch.exe server -m C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2022b -p 49572 -i 6384 -v C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\": CreateProcessW: Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service

I have tried uninstalling the program and removing all registry entries as well. Upon reinstalling and reactivating my license, I still get this problem. Will my Matlab work fine? I am an absolute beginner here. I have a valid academic license thanks to my engineering college. Kindly help.

I have a similar issue with MATLABR2022a on Windows 7.

MATLAB was running really slow (similar script as I executed without problem yesterday), and when I close and reopen the program, I get the following output:

Caught "std::exception" Exception message is:

It is CRITICAL that somebody from Matlab look into this. Yes, this is an issue. I am running Win7 with Matlab 2022B. It starts very slow and eventually you get many HTML function errors because the routine that is failing to run is mwdocsearch.exe which is a newly released engine that searches online for help information instead of searching for local harddrive for help.

How do you kill mwdocsearch.exe? This is production equipment running a dedicated script millions of times. I don't want help if it crashes my application.

Same problem in R2023a / win 7. I suspect the answer is that win 7 is no longer supported.

MATLAB is slow to awake, however, HELP appears to still work.

This seems to be the only issue with 23A and win 7.

I'm hoping someone comes up with a cure ...... but not holding my breath.

Same issue:MATLAB 9.14.0.2489007 (R2023a) Update 6 and MATLAB 23.2.0.2409890 (R2023b) Update 3 on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter Version 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1).

Note:R2023b Update 4 and newer can't start on Windows 7/8/8.1/10 below version 21H2

[Eugene]

this is "Windows 7" ?

[Roman Vitek]

Hello, I have the same problem and yes, there are Windows 7 on this computer. Is it the problem?

Это проявляется для «Windows 7» в части запуска сервера поиска разделов в «HELP».

Но, можно обойти ).

Чтобы обеспечить работоспособность «HELP» нужно проделать следующие шаги.

1. Копировать из окна Matlab строку находящуюся в двойных кавычках "".
2. "****\bin\win64\mwdocsearch.exe server -m **** -p **** -i **** -v ****\"
3. Вызвать “Win+R”.
4. Вести cmd нажать “Enter”.
5. Вставить скопированную строку и нажать “Enter”.

Сервер “mwdocsearch.exe” запуститься с параметрами портов и путей.

Теперь «Help» будет обеспечивать контекстный поиск.

It is shown for «Windows 7» regarding start of the server of search of sections in «HELP».

But, it is possible to bypass).

To provide working capacity «HELP» it is necessary to do following steps.

1. Copy from window Matlab a line being in double inverted commas "".

"****\bin\win64\mwdocsearch.exe server-m ****-p ****-i ****-v **** \"

2) “Win+R”.

3) “cmd” to press “Enter”.

4) Insert the copied line and to press “Enter”.

The server “mwdocsearch.exe” to be started with parametres of ports and ways.

Now «Help» will provide contextual search.

I installed R2022a on Windows 7 without difficulty months ago and it still functions.

Today I installed R2022b but got the error message first reported by Obaidullah.

I've followed the steps proposed by Eugene, but despite several attempts I still can't get R2022b to work.

Any further suggestions welcome.
