How to make sure MATLAB uses correct version of dll's?

Background:

I have a new Windows 10 computer at my new job (November 1. 2024) and I have +10 years of experience with MATLAB.

Problem and question:

In short I am stuck with point 6) as described in my history below. My question is: how to make sure MATLAB does not use the wrong version of specific dll's?

History:

1. After transferring some path settings from a startup.m file to a project specific Git controlled m-file my MATLAB started complaining on any command. More specifically it was this error that popped up for every entry on the command line: https://se.mathworks.com/support/search.html/answers/307356-why-do-i-get-error-using-eval-undefined-function-workspacefunc-for-input-arguments-of-type-stru.html?fq%5B%5D=asset_type_name:answer&fq%5B%5D=category:matlab/startup-and-shutdown&page=1
2. After trying all the proposed solutions mentioned in above answer without success I ended with the last step which is reinstall of MATLAB.
3. Even after uninstall of MATLAB in Windows, deletion of MATLAB install folder and no MATLAB evironment variables; a clean install of MATLAB (2024b) results in these two error messages for me during install and will not start MATLAB afterwards.
4. 
5. 
6. This kind of error is described here: https://se.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/110328-why-do-i-receive-the-error-message-the-procedure-entry-point-could-not-be-located-in-the-dynamic-li . However, it is not clear to me how I can make MATLAB use the right version of these dll's. PS I don't have enough reputation points to comment on that post even though my problem is much related I guess.
7. In an attempt to solve this problem I installed MATLAB 2024a and it installed without the error from the 4) and 5) screenshots above. However, that brought me back to the error mentioned in 3). So my best guess is still 6).

Thank you for any help.

8. In a second attempt to bypass the problem I installed yet an earlier version. This time it was 2022b. And now it works but only until I run the first script. After running a script it starts to complain on anything I write similar to 3). So still interested in solving this problem.

[EDIT: I briefly thought this solved the problem so this post was different for the first 15 minutes it was up.]

Update on dll's: I am not able to find the dll files (mentioned in the screenshots above) elsewhere outside the MATLAB install. So maybe the problem is different than expected or the Windows search does not look in all places.

Installing the latest version of R2024b fixes the problem. The previous version of R2024b contained a bug and that version is no longer available.
