MATLAB 2016b Doc Set Throwable on Startup

Recently on start up of MATLAB 2016b, I began receiving the following message in the command window:

"Caught throwable while adding doc set item to doc set builder: null"

Tried restoring defaults on paths, preferences, ect... I've also been digging around in the javaclasspaths and the matlab log file but haven't been able to find any information on this problem.

Any help appreciated!
