My Matlab opens several files on startup R2018

When I startup Matlab, about 5 documents are opened at the same time, and then minimized.

I am running MacOS 10.14.5

I'm not entirely certain as to why this is happening and any help would be appreciated

My bet is that you have a startup.m file which is run upon matlab startup. Within that file are commands to do some stuff that involves opening and minimizing documents. It was probably a bad idea to add those things to startup.m so investigate why they are there and remove them.

To test if my hunch is correct,

which startup.m -all

If that shows a file,

open startup.m

Thank you for your help!

I think what happened is that an office mate of mine edited the file while I was gone and left the computer unlocked as a prank.

Obviously you have to prank him/her back now.
