Hello,
I installed Octave 8.4.0 on a Windows 11 Home machine through an EXE=C2=A0i=
nstaller. First thing I usually do, as a sort of quick initial test,is to l=
ist the installed packages with "pkg list" on the Command Window.=C2=A0The =
list came but interrupted less than halfway towards its end. Octave=C2=A0th=
en froze and I had to exit the application as that was the only wayto unloc=
k it.
I fixed this problem by running Octave as administrator. I did this bycheck=
ing Octave's shortcut advanced property "Run as administrator".
It worked, but I wonder if that was the right thing to do and if therewasn'=
t a simpler and possibly less harmful way to run Octave as Ialways did in t=
he past.
The installer installed Octave in C:\Program Files\GNU Octave\Octave-8.4.0.
Thanks,
Fausto
