Matlab GUI will no longer open from terminal

I have been remote accessing a computer that holds the data and programs I need to do my analysis. For the past few months, I cd into my personal directory and enter

matlab2020a

and the Matlab GUI opens. Earlier today, everything was running as usual, but this afternoon I ran the same command to open matlab, but not the GUI does not open. It opens a 'headless' version. I have tried

matlab2020a -desktop

but the GUI still will not open. Any thoughts on how to remedy this and why it may have suddenly changed?

Thank you for the help! It ended up being an issue that was changed by the administrator that required a simple restart on their end.
