I've installed 2020a and it also crashes when I try to run scripts. Even one line scripts just to see if it would crash. Version 2019b is still installed and seems to run fine.

I have the same issue with Matlab2020. It got stuck over thesmae for loop that usually takes 2 seconds !

MATLAB might have crashed due to permission issues, you can see permission denied message just before it crashed. By fixing the permissions, you can solve this issue.

[Darnell Gawdin]

I don't see any type of message; it just shuts down. I've uninstalled it. It was running up until an update for 2020a came out then it would just crash whenever I tried to run a script.

2019b is still installed and running fine. I'll try reinstalling 2020a again when I get a chance.

I solved. I'd accidentally delete the environment variable about Matlab preferences. I found how to set the MATLAB_PREFDIR variable and launched again matlab. Thanks God it works
