I am seeing a few different possibilities. The one I am seeing most often would occur if the file name is too long. In the context of MATLAB that might apply if you installed into a non-default directory that was a fair ways deep in the file tree.

Hello @amin,

I understand you are encountering error “0xc0000106” when updating MATLAB, and the issue persists even after installing a different version of Windows 10 Pro.

Error “0xc0000106” corresponds to “STATUS_NAME_TOO_LONG” in Windows. As previously mentioned by Walter, this error may occur if the MATLAB installation directory path exceeds the default character limit for paths in Windows. A potential solution is to install MATLAB in a directory with a shorter path.

Since you mentioned that the error occurs during MATLAB updates and persists even after updating Windows 10 Pro, this may indicate an issue with the Windows system image. To address this, you can run the following command in the Command window, which checks and repairs the system image:

%Command window
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
