matlab new or old version perfectly work on win10 PC, but on a virtual machine window 10 cannot plot symbol, figure is empty; but if first plot line, then add symbol, it will work. Thanks for help

matlab, old or new version, works perfectly on mac or win 10 PC,

but on a win10 virtual machine (after May 2019), I cannot plot symbol

if I use

clear all; clc;

x=[1,2,3,4,5];

y=x.^2;

figure(1),plot(x,y,'*');

I get a empty figure

but if I use

clear all; clc;

x=[1,2,3,4,5];

y=x.^2;

figure(1),plot(x,y);hold on

figure(1),plot(x,y,'*');

I can get both line with symbol on it

It must be caused by parallel Desktop and/or newer win10 update, help is highly appreciated

try for below

plot x,y,r *

Nadir: Thanks for response and your precous time

I tried

figure(1),plot(x,y,'r *')

it still gives me me empty figure

if I directly use in m file or command window:

plot x,y,r *

error message is

Error using plot

Invalid first data argument.

I can plot symbol previously in win 10 virtual machine (before May 2019), but find empty figure around August or September (must relate to some updates of win10). Now I have to use Matlab in Mac side, it is some sort of not convenient.

greetings!
