AppDesigner Hangs After Opening .mlapp File

I have attached the offending file. I can open appDesigner fine by typing "appdesigner" in the command window. I'm then greeted with the folowing file in my recent files, which I load, taking about two minutes to make it through the progress bar. The resulting UI shows, but a beachball spins within my uiaxes. It makes the entire computer unresponsive. Please help!

Hi Roland,

I understand you are facing issue while opening .mlapp file and after taking a lot of time to open, App designer is getting unresponsive.

I tried out the file shared by you at my end, and it was working fine in my system. So, you can try the following steps to resolve the issue:

• Update MATLAB: Ensure your MATLAB installation is up to date.
• Try on another machine: If possible, try running the app on a different machine. This can help determine if the issue is related to your specific computer's configuration or resources.
• MATLAB Preferences: Reset MATLAB preferences by running the following code in the command window. Sometimes, corrupted MATLAB preferences can cause issues.

restoredefaultpath
matlabrc

• Hardware Acceleration: Check if disabling hardware acceleration improves performance. You can find this option under MATLAB's Home tab, in Preferences > MATLAB > General > Hardware Acceleration.

It sounds like something that happened to me! In my case, I had to update my operating system to its newer version (from Windows 10 version 21H1 to 22H2). After the update, everything worked fine! :)

I observed what you described when I tried to open an app in a Matlab version prior to the one the app was created in. Your app was created in R2023b, did you open it in the same release?
