Why does parpool sometimes fail to initialize seemingly randomly and sometimes it works?

Hello everyone,
this is my first question so please be lenient with me.
I am using the following code to read multiple .his image sequences and then save each image of the sequences to a single .tif file.
parpool(8)
im=num_dithering*numICpoints;
parfor ii=1:num_dithering
temp=zeros(sizesequence);
for jj=1:numICpoints
temp=temp+double(readHISfile1([projectionFolder,sprintf('proj_dither_%01d_IC_%01d.his',ii-1,jj-1)]));
end
temp=temp/numICpoints;
for i=1:numOfProj
imwrite(uint16(squeeze(temp(:,:,i))),[tempFolder,sprintf('proj_%04d_dither_%01d.tif',i,ii)])
end
end
disp("saved raw projections")
delete(gcp)
I noticed that every few times i try to do this initializing the interactive session fails and i get this error message:
Error using parallel.internal.pool.InteractiveClient>iThrowWithCause (line
678)
Failed to initialize the interactive session.
Error using
parallel.internal.pool.InteractiveClient>iThrowIfBadParallelJobStatus
(line 818)
The interactive communicating job finished with no message.
I already checked if i run out of memory, but it seems all fine. When I get this error message I usually just rerun my script and then it works with no change of the code. Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be? I am using the Matlab version 9.9.0.1538559 (R2020b) Update 3. Thanks for your help!

(1) Try to increase the MATLAB's memory management based on the your system resources.
(2) Also try to configure the max number of available cores for parallel processing.

Do you have an answer, I also have the same issue, it is random. I found using longer idletimeout can lower the probability of parpool failing to start, but it can still happen.
parpool('local', 20, 'IdleTimeout', 10);
