Matlab doesn't run

Support Third-party Applications

I installed matlab. Added a file /usr/share/applications/matlab.desktop. But matlab does not start, the startup window appears and that’s it. At the same time, if you run from the console, then everything works. Yesterday matlab.desktop works perfectly. Please, tell me where I went wrong.

matlab.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Terminal=false
MimeType=text/x-matlab
Exec=/opt/matlab/bin/matlab
Name=MATLAB R2022b
Icon=/opt/matlab/bin/glnxa64/cef_resources/matlab_icon.png

Comment=Scientific computing environment
StartupNotify=true

I tried using gtk-launcher but didn’t see any errors.

Where did you install it from? The matlab AUR (Arch User Repository) package already contains desktop files.

This is my matlab.desktop file. I installed matlab from their official website.
