• Click Choose another app and then select More apps option
• To finalize the process, select Look for another app on this PC entry and using the file explorer select the MATLAB installation folder. Confirm by checking Always use this app to open IQT files box and clicking OK button.

4. Check whether your system can handle MATLAB

If the systems has insufficient resources to open IQT files, try closing all currently running applications and try again.

5. Verify that your operating system and drivers are up to date
