Matlab Symbolic Engine error

Hi,

I wonder whether anyone could help. I am currently having problems initialising the symbolic engine. I get the same error each time I attempt to create symbolic variables, as has been discussed by other questions on here. I had R2017b and saw the need to update to the most recent R2018a, which I have now done. I am still getting the same error code despite updating, which I was under the impression would relieve my troubles.

I am a windows 10 64 bit user. Here is the error code I receive for the following script:

script -

sym x b a

error code - Error using mupadmex Internal error with symbolic engine. Quit and restart MATLAB.

Error in sym>symr (line 1321) [S,err] = mupadmex(' ',x,3);

Error in sym>numeric2cellstr (line 1262) S{k} = symr(double(x(k)));

Error in sym>tomupad (line 1219) S = mupadmex(numeric2cellstr(x));

Error in sym (line 211) S.s = tomupad(x);

Error in sympref>implementedSymprefs (line 142) y = {'FourierParameters', sym([1,-1]), 'MuPAD', 'sym';...

Error in sympref (line 81) iSymprefs = implementedSymprefs;

Error in symengine

Error in sym (line 185) symengine;

Error in sym_error (line 1) sym x b a

Warning: Failed to initialize symbolic preferences. > In symengine In sym (line 185) In sym_error (line 1) Error using mupadmex Internal error with symbolic engine. Quit and restart MATLAB.

Error in symengine

Error in sym (line 185) symengine;

Error in sym_error (line 1) sym x b a

I simply wrote the script for demonstrative purposes, I was trying to make a Taylor Series expansion when I ran into the problem.

Many thanks, Max

You will likely have to do what I recommended here: Matlab 2018a faulty?
