Whenever I try to open Matlab, it throws error as below. I just downloaded the app, and try to open a m file.
Also, I added screnshot as well.
PC is Macbook Pro Catalina version 10.15

I have the same error. It just started - I've been running 2020b for some time with no issue! Tried remove/reinstall but the issue is still there.

Exactly the same with me - very frustrating when you only get about an hour a week to do actual research!

I got the exact same prblem starting today, still works fine on an old computer, was working fine today until it broke all of a sudden (I didn't update or change anything)
