Tips to open MEXDS file
Can't open the MEXDS file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open MEXDS files as well as a list of programs that support MEXDS files.

The MEXDS file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the MEXDS files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the MEXDS file on each system platform.
What is MEXDS file?
The file in the MEXDS format belongs to the Misc Files category. The author of this format is MathWorks, Inc.. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. MATlab Dynamically Linked Subroutines appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is MATLAB. This was created by MathWorks, Inc..
How to open MEXDS file?
The main problem with MATlab Dynamically Linked Subroutines is that the MEXDS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file MEXDS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MEXDS file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install MATLAB
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MATLAB is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name MATLAB in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MEXDS with MATLAB. Below is a list of programs that support the file MEXDS.
Programs to open MEXDS file
Remember to download programs supporting MEXDS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MATLAB with MEXDS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MEXDS file still does not use the MATLAB program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MEXDS file with the MATLAB program.
Step 3. Update MATLAB to the latest version
If, despite the association of the MATLAB program with the MATlab Dynamically Linked Subroutines file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the MathWorks, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MEXDS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to MEXDS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MEXDS file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected MEXDS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MEXDS files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MEXDS files. You can restore the file from a backup or use MathWorks, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MEXDS files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the MEXDS file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the MEXDS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MEXDS to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
