I am on MacOS Big Sur matlab version 2020b. When I call parfor from a script it gives error message ": Invalid character code sequence detected.". When I looked a bit more I got the below message:
The list of cluster profiles failed to load and so they are unusable. To recover, check the reason and restart MATLAB.
Reason: Invalid character code sequence detected. Any idea how to solve this?

Hi btskzn,
Before you run the script, can you check the cluster profile on which you are running the script is successfully
validated ? To check this :
Under Home tab, in the ENVIRONMENT section, click on Parallel and select Create and Manage clusters.
Select your cluster profile on which you intend to run your code, right click on it and choose Set as Default.
Now click on Validate button. If all stages pass, then try running your code again.
If any stage fails, update your question with a screenshot of failed stage along with the logs.
Along with it update the question with the code where the matlab throws an error.

When I click on create and manage clusters I have this error message:
"Invalid character code sequence detected.

Hi,
The first reason this issue can occur is if you are trying to run Parallel Computing Toolbox on a non-English local machine.
"Invalid character code sequence detected." usually means non-English characters are in a path or file name. Some potential paths that can cause this issue:
>> tempdir
>> prefdir
>> matlabroot
>> !hostname
Check those paths and make sure they do not contain non-English characters. If they do, change it and then you should be able to use the Cluster Profile Manager.
If you are still experiencing the issue after checking the paths, run the following command within the MATLAB command prompt:
>>parallel.Settings
If it returns the following message, this is a known issue with a fix still in the works.
Invalid character code sequence detected
The current workaround to resolve this is to downgrade to MATLAB R2020a.
Hope this helps!

I have this problem with Matlab 2021b under MacOS 12.5.7.
I checked the hostname and paths. They have no non-English Characters (that I can discern).
When I run parallel.Settings, I get:
Warning: The following error was caught while executing 'parallel.internal.settings.NamedNodesCollection' class
destructor:
