Downloading text files from Matlab causes them to be corrupted

From my matlab program, I have saved a number of variables (128x128 matrices) as text files. When I open them on matlab itself (Matlab online r2020a), they open fine and display the numeric data I want. However when I download them, either individually or in bulk as a zip file, the .txt files display only junk values, when opened in Notepad. Why could this be happening and what is the fix?

Attaching a screenshot of the files viewed in program, and after download:

Don't use Notepad. Use Notepad++ or any editor created in the last 20 years. Notepad is so old it is only able to properly handle files that have both carriage return and newline at the end of each line; the files you are downloading have linefeeds but no carriage returns.

Thank you! Didn't know the fix was as simple as that, but sometimes it's a relief to have a simple answer!
