Hi jiankuan,

The error message you provided suggests that MATLAB is having trouble initializing a child process due to an issue executing the "mwdocsearch.exe" server file. The error message is specific to Windows OS, indicating an issue with running the server file with the specified options.

Here are some steps you can try to resolve the error:

1. Check if the mwdocsearch.exe file exists in the specified directory: "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2022b\bin\win64". If the file is missing, try reinstalling MATLAB.
2. Try running MATLAB as an administrator. Right-click on the MATLAB icon and select "Run as administrator". Sometimes, certain permissions or access rights are required to execute certain files.
3. Try disabling any antivirus software temporarily and check if the issue persists. Sometimes, antivirus software may interfere with the execution of certain files.
4. If none of the above steps works, try repairing the MATLAB installation. You can do this by going to "Control Panel" > "Programs and Features" > "MATLAB R2022b" > "Uninstall/Change" > "Repair".

I hope this helps to resolve the issue you are facing.
