MEXDS File Extension

What is MEXDS file?

MEXDS filename suffix is mostly used for MATlab Dynamically Linked Subroutines files. MathWorks, Inc. defined the MATlab Dynamically Linked Subroutines format standard. Files with MEXDS extension may be used by programs distributed for Windows platform. Files with MEXDS extension are categorized as Misc Files files. The Misc Files subset comprises 6033 various file formats. The software recommended for managing MEXDS files is MATLAB. Software named MATLAB was created by MathWorks, Inc.. In order to find more detailed information on the software and MEXDS files, check the developer’s official website.

Programs which support MEXDS file extension

The following listing features MEXDS-compatible programs. Files with MEXDS extension, just like any other file formats, can be found on any operating system. The files in question may be transferred to other devices, be it mobile or stationary, yet not all systems may be capable of properly handling such files.

How to open file with MEXDS extension?

There can be multiple causes why you have problems with opening MEXDS files on given system. On the bright side, the most encountered issues pertaining to MATlab Dynamically Linked Subroutines files aren’t complex. In most cases they can be addressed swiftly and effectively without assistance from a specialist. The list below will guide you through the process of addressing the encountered problem.

Step 1. Download and install MATLAB

Problems with opening and working with MEXDS files are most probably having to do with no proper software compatible with MEXDS files being present on your machine. The solution to this problem is very simple. Download MATLAB and install it on your device. The full list of programs grouped by operating systems can be found above. If you want to download MATLAB installer in the most secured manner, we suggest you visit MathWorks, Inc. website and download from their official repositories.

Step 2. Verify the you have the latest version of MATLAB

You still cannot access MEXDS files although MATLAB is installed on your system? Make sure that the software is up to date. Sometimes software developers introduce new formats in place of that already supports along with newer versions of their applications. If you have an older version of MATLAB installed, it may not support MEXDS format. All of the file formats that were handled just fine by the previous versions of given program should be also possible to open using MATLAB.

Step 3. Set the default application to open MEXDS files to MATLAB

If the issue has not been solved in the previous step, you should associate MEXDS files with latest version of MATLAB you have installed on your device. The process of associating file formats with default application may differ in details depending on platform, but the basic procedure is very similar.

Change the default application in Windows

• Right-click the MEXDS file and choose Open with option
• Next, select the Choose another app option and then using More apps open the list of available applications
• The last step is to select Look for another app on this PC option supply the directory path to the folder where MATLAB is installed. Now all that is left is to confirm your choice by selecting Always use this app to open MEXDS files and clicking OK.

Change the default application in Mac OS

• Right-click the MEXDS file and select Information
• Find the Open with option – click the title if its hidden
• Select the appropriate software and save your settings by clicking Change all
• If you followed the previous steps a message should appear: This change will be applied to all files with MEXDS extension. Next, click the Continue button to finalize the process.

Step 4. Ensure that the MEXDS file is complete and free of errors

Should the problem still occur after following steps 1-3, check if the MEXDS file is valid. Being unable to access the file can be related to various issues.

1. The MEXDS may be infected with malware – make sure to scan it with an antivirus tool.

Should it happed that the MEXDS is infected with a virus, this may be that cause that prevents you from accessing it. Scan the MEXDS file as well as your computer for malware or viruses. MEXDS file is infected with malware? Follow the steps suggested by your antivirus software.

2. Verify that the MEXDS file’s structure is intact

If the MEXDS file was sent to you by someone else, ask this person to resend the file to you. The file might have been copied erroneously and the data lost integrity, which precludes from accessing the file. If the MEXDS file has been downloaded from the internet only partially, try to redownload it.

3. Check if the user that you are logged as has administrative privileges.

Some files require elevated access rights to open them. Log out of your current account and log in to an account with sufficient access privileges. Then open the MATlab Dynamically Linked Subroutines file.

4. Make sure that the system has sufficient resources to run MATLAB

The operating systems may note enough free resources to run the application that support MEXDS files. Close all running programs and try opening the MEXDS file.

5. Ensure that you have the latest drivers and system updates and patches installed

Regularly updated system, drivers, and programs keep your computer secure. This may also prevent problems with MATlab Dynamically Linked Subroutines files. Outdated drivers or software may have caused the inability to use a peripheral device needed to handle MEXDS files.
