The MathWorks Service Host provides services which are required by other MathWorks products, such as licensing functionality for MATLAB and web service functionality for MATLAB Drive Connector. Uninstalling and reinstalling MathWorks Service Host may be necessary if you are encountering startup issues with either of these. The steps below should help you accomplish this.

1. End the process

Windows

Open Task Manager. This is often done by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete on your keyboard
If you do not see tabs such as "Processes" & "Performance", select "More details" in the bottom left corner of the Window.
Navigate to the "Details" tab near the top of the Window
Find "MathWorks Service Host". You may be able to find it more easily by searching in the search bar for "MathWorks"
Highlight it and select "End Task" in the bottom right corner of the Window
Find "MSH Health Monitor" and select to "End Task" for this process as well

macOS

Open the app Terminal by searching for it Spotlight Search. Spotlight Search is the magnifying glass in the top right corner of your Mac OS screen.
Type in run killall MathWorksServiceHost
Press enter/return on your keyboard.
Type in run killall MSHHealthMonitor
Press enter/return on your keyboard.

Linux

Open Terminal. Doing this will vary depending on your Linux distribution
Type in run killall MathWorksServiceHost
Press enter on your keyboard.
Type in run killall MSHHealthMonitor
Press enter/return on your keyboard.

2. Uninstall the MathWorks Service Host

Windows

We first need to make sure that we can view hidden folders inside of File Explorer. If you have already enabled this, you may skip this section.

Uninstalling MathWorks Service Host

Press Windows Key+R on your keyboard
Type in %localappdata%\MathWorks\ServiceHost and then press Enter on your keyboard.
Go into the folder named with whichever version you have installed (for example: v2024.1.0.3.) You may have multiple versions installed. This means you'll need to repeat the steps 3-6 for each version you have installed.
Go into the folder named "mci", then, "bin", and then "win64"
Find the file labeled "UninstallMathWorksServiceHost". Double-click on it.
The uninstallation will run without any window displaying. After a few moments, it will be completed.
Go back into the ServiceHost folder. Delete the folder with the version name that you just uninstalled.
Delete the LastInstall.?info file
Go up into the MathWorks folder. (C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\MathWorks)
Delete the MATLABConnector folder. If you don't see it, then make sure you have enabled the ability to view hidden folders the section above this one, labeled "Displaying Hidden Folders and Files" will instruct you how to do this.

macOS

Open Finder
In the top left corner of your screen, you should see buttons such as "File, Edit, View". Select "Go".
Select the second-to-last option "Go to Folder..."
Type in the following: ~/Library/Application Support/MathWorks
Press enter/return on your keyboard.
Delete the MATLABConnector folder.
Go into the folder named "ServiceHost"
Delete any folders that start with the letter "v".
Delete the file named LatestInstall.?info

Linux

Please note that some of the folders that you will be navigating into are hidden folders. You may need to perform additional commands or enable the ability to view hidden folders with your file explorer. Doing this will vary depending on your Linux distribution and file explorer used.

Go to the following folder: /home/$USER/.MathWorks/ServiceHost/$HOSTNAME/
Go into the folder named with whichever version you have installed (for example: v2024.1.0.3.) You may have multiple versions installed. This means you'll need to repeat the steps 3-6 for each version you have installed.
Go into the folder named "mci", then, "bin", and then "glnxa64"
Find the script labeled "UninstallMathWorksServiceHost.sh". Execute the script.
The uninstallation may run without any window displaying. After a few moments, it will be completed.
Go back into the ServiceHost folder. Delete the folder with the version name that you just uninstalled.
Delete the LastInstall.?info file
Go back into the $HOSTNAME folder (/home/$USER/.MathWorks/ServiceHost/$HOSTNAME/)
Delete the MATLABConnector folder.
Go to your user's home folder (/home/$USER/)
Delete the folder named ".MATLABConnector".

3. Reinstall the MathWorks Service Host

All Operating Systems

Download the latest MATLAB Drive Connector Installer from this link: Install MATLAB Drive Connector
Run the file that is downloaded.
Allow the installer to finish installing MathWorks Service Host.
If you are prompted to setup MATLAB Drive Connector, you may quit this window, unless you plan to use MATLAB Drive.
