Variables won't display correctly in new Matlab version

I recently switched from a server running 2018b to one running 2020b, and there's something screwy occuring with the way variables are displayed. Previously when a variable in the workspace was double-clicked, a spreadsheet-style table appeared in the editor permitting browsing of data. Now, just text appears starting with val = Columns 1 through 11, followed by the data in the same format that would have appeared in the command window.
Has anyone run into this before?

Here's how a 5x100 array of zeros would display before:
Here's what it does now:
I seem to recall a posting roughly 3 months ago in which someone had this issue. My memory is claiming that they solved it by reinstalling.
Hello,
Did you manage to solve this?
Thank you.
It resolved when I completely reset my path to defaults
At the MATLAB command line
restoredefaultpath; rehash toolboxcache
and then test. If it works then
savepath

It looks like you've tried something like this.
val = zeros(117,5,'double','distributed');
Which gives output like this. But you can try like this.
val = zeros(117,5,'double');
Which gives outlike that you're expecting.

Unfortunately that doesn't work. It still displays like I posted above. I should mention that all of my various matrices and arrays of all formats (single, double, etc) display correctly in 2018b but not in 2020b,which makes me think there's something in settings that I'm missing.
