Web browser will not load on first launch

After a PC reboot Matlab is launched, a html file is written to disk, and the web function is used to display it: web('C:\temp\foo.html')

The first time this is done, web brings up the browser page but the file is not loaded. Closing Matlab and re-launching corrects this.

What about using another browser?
