Documentation Search Hangs MATLAB

Every time I use the "doc" command or hit enter after typing in a search in the search bar in MATLAB, the whole program hangs and I have to end task in windows task manager and restart. Is there a fix for this? It's happened for both R2017b and R2018b.

I seem to recall this was a known problem in r2017b but I thought it had been fixed. I am not finding appropriate bug reports though

This issue with the ‘doc’ command is likely caused by the default browser not having proper read/write permissions to the ‘temp’ directory.
Changing the default browser for rendering the doc might resolve the issue.
You can change the default browser as described in the link below:-
