Hello Rain,

The error message you're seeing indicates an abnormal termination of MATLAB, likely due to a serious internal issue or a corrupted installation. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem:

Step 1: Update MATLAB

- Install Updates: Ensure that you have the latest updates and patches for your MATLAB version. Sometimes, these updates can fix critical bugs.

- Upgrade MATLAB: If possible, consider upgrading to a newer version of MATLAB, as the issue might have been resolved in later releases.

Step 2: Check System Compatibility

- System Requirements: Verify that your system meets the minimum requirements for MATLAB R2020a.

- Windows Updates: Ensure your operating system is up-to-date with the latest patches and updates.

Step 3: Reinstall MATLAB

1. Backup Your Files: Before proceeding, make sure to back up all your important MATLAB files and custom configurations.

2. Uninstall MATLAB:

- Use the Control Panel on Windows to uninstall MATLAB.

- Manually delete any remaining MATLAB folders in the installation directory and `%appdata%`.

3. Reinstall MATLAB:

- Download the latest installer from the MathWorks website.

- Follow the installation instructions carefully, ensuring all required toolboxes are selected.

By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and potentially fix the abnormal termination issue with MATLAB.

Thank you.
