First of all, be sure to install c++ compilers 2017 from visual studio, they aren’t automatically selected during the install

Matlab Source
Edit Registry

As an admin, edit registry entry:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\

Start matlab and check that the compiler is found

mex -setup -v
