Game Data files, such as sunspot.dat, are considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (Game Data) file. They are associated with the DAT file extension, developed by MathWorks for MATLAB R2009a.
The first version of sunspot.dat for MATLAB R2009a was seen on 03/14/2009 in Windows 10. This file release marks the latest and most updated version from MathWorks.
This article discusses complete file details, DAT file troubleshooting instructions for problems with sunspot.dat, and a comprehensive set of free downloads for every file version that has been catalogued by our team.

sunspot.dat is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like sunspot.dat, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like klist.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. MATLAB) could share the same sunspot.dat file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.
Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DAT file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when sunspot.dat is attempted to be loaded either when MATLAB is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common sunspot.dat errors include:
Your sunspot.dat file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with MATLAB), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, sunspot.dat file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading MATLAB, system crash while loading sunspot.dat, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your sunspot.dat issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.
To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):
If the Step 1 fails to resolve the sunspot.dat error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.
You can uninstall MATLAB software by following these instructions (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):
After the software has been fully uninstalled, restart your PC and reinstall MATLAB software.
If this Step 2 fails as well, please proceed to the Step 3 below.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many sunspot.dat error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:
If Windows Update failed to resolve the sunspot.dat error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.
If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate sunspot.dat file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free sunspot.dat files for every applicable version of MATLAB. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:
If this final step has failed and you're still encountering the error, you're only remaining option is to do a clean installation of Windows 10.
GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve sunspot.dat problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.
CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying sunspot.dat to your appropriate Windows system directory. MathWorks typically does not release MATLAB DAT files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing sunspot.dat and all other DAT files for MATLAB. An incorrectly installed DAT file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
