MATLAB not starting working on Windows 8

DISCLAIMER : This is not about MATLAB installation issues

I have been using MATLAB R2013 a for a little while because I have to analyse some signal characteristics for my final year thesis. And suddenly out of nowhere it began to not start on my Windows 8 desktop. After few unsuccesfull attempts I have found a solution to overcome this issue.


Error log file from the OS
EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x00000000, pid=3980, tid=4484
 JRE version: 6.0_17-b04
 Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (14.3-b01 mixed mode windows-x86 )
 Problematic frame:
 C  0x00000000

Solution

In the log it says a problem in JRE. but Reinsatalling Java wont fix the problem.  Problem lies in the MATLAB app data folder.

Go to
C:\Users\kapal\AppData\Roaming\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2013a

find
MATLAB_Editor_State.xml 

Delete it. :) Worked for me.
