Mexcuda error on Windows 10 (Matlab 2016b)

Hi, I'm using Windows 10, here is the compilers used by mex (as you can see I'm using Visual studio C++ 2015):

>> mex -setup c++
MEX configured to use 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Professional' for C++ language compilation.
Warning: The MATLAB C and Fortran API has changed to support MATLAB
   variables with more than 2^32-1 elements. In the near future
   you will be required to update your code to utilize the
   new API. You can find more information about this at:
   http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/upgrading-mex-files-to-use-64-bit-api.html.

To choose a different C++ compiler, select one from the following:
MinGW64 Compiler (C++)  mex -setup:'C:\Program Files\MATLAB_R2016b\bin\win64\mexopts\mingw64_g++.xml' C++
Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Professional  mex -setup:C:\Users\LENOVO\AppData\Roaming\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2016b\mex_C++_win64.xml C++

And here is the result using gpuDevice: >

> gpuDevice

ans = 

    CUDADevice with properties:

                        Name: 'Quadro M1000M'

And on Windows command prompt, the result when I checked for nvcc:

C:\Users\LENOVO>nvcc --version
nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver

however there seems to be some warnings:

C:\Users\LENOVO>nvcc
nvcc warning : The 'compute_20', 'sm_20', and 'sm_21' architectures are deprecated, and may be removed in a future release (Use -Wno-deprecated-gpu-targets to suppress warning).

Anyway, when I tried to use mexcuda to compile mexGPUExample.cu, an error showed up:

>> mexcuda -v mexGPUExample.cu

Error in mexcuda (line 157)
    [varargout{1:nargout}] = mex(mexArguments{:});

But I already installed Visual C++ 2015 compiler, which is supported by the CUDA compiler (according to : https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/270635-mexcuda-error-on-windows-10-matlab-2015-b) . I'm perplexed :( Please help me, thank you very much

MATLAB R2016b requires CUDA 7.5, which doesn't support Visual Studio 2015. So the first thing it's doing is checking for a version of Visual Studio you can use, which you don't have.

This Answer provides a workaround to force MATLAB to use CUDA 8.0 and Visual Studio 14:

• Install Visual Studio 2013.
• Then install CUDA 7.5 (custom install, select cuda toolkit and visual studio integration). At this stage, if you have the correct VS version recognizable by CUDA 7.5 installer for the visual studio integration, it won't throw a warning message.
• Then finally, run 'mex -setup c++' in Matlab command window, and change your default compiler to Microsoft Visual C++ 2013. Once you have Matlab set to communicate with VS2013 for mex compilation, it will pick the CL (for .c and .cpp) and NVCC (for .cu) compilers associated with VS2013.
