Matlab Startup Accelerator for Windows

Matlab Startup Accelerator for Windows is intended to speed up Matlab startup. However, by default Matlab disables the Startup Accelerator on many systems. To check if Matlab Startup Accelerator is enabled on a Windows system, check Windows Task Scheduler by the snapin:

taskschd.msc

Look under Task Scheduler Library for a task named Matlab R20XXx Startup Accelerator (where 20XXx is the Matlab release). Consider disabling it to avoid needless resource usage if it is not already disabled. On modern computers with SSD drives, Matlab startup is already fast.
