After upgrading Win11, MATLAB garbled characters

After upgrading win11, open matlab2024a, all programs under one of the folder paths become garbled, not only Chinese comments, including all code; But there is no problem with other folders.

Have you encountered this kind of problem? Is there any workaround that can be tried?

Hi @第四, it looks like you have opened a 'pcode' file (file with extension '.p'). 'pcode' files are MATLAB program files in a proprietary, obfuscated code format. You can't read them in any way but you can run all the functions in the script. Here's the documentation page for them:

Normal MATLAB scripts have an extension of '.m'. Try opening one of those.

Hello, thank you for your answer, but what I opened is indeed a script file, and opening it with notepad++ is still all garbled.

Perhaps it is a Pfile with an incorrect file extension.
