Why does MATLAB crash without errors when attempting to launch it on a Windows system that is being controlled by a Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM)?

MATLAB may crash without error messages if your Kernel-based Virtual Machine does not provide a BIOS serial number to the client system where MATLAB is being launched.
A component of MATLAB's licensing performs a check on the system BIOS serial number. If the system returns a blank serial number, this will cause MATLAB to crash at launch.
You can check the BIOS serial number in Windows by running the following command in the Windows Command Prompt:
wmic bios get serialnumber
To resolve this error, you will need to determine how to make your KVM report a BIOS serial number. You may need to check the documentation for your KVM solution.
