When I click on katalon.exe, it runs into the problem: "An error has occurred. See the log file C:...\configuration\1632037666424.log"
And when I click the log file, it appears as below:

And this is how my katalon.ini looks like:
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.5.700.v20200207-2156.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.1200.v20200508-1552
-data
@noDefault
-vmargs
-XX:+UseG1GC
-XX:+UseStringDeduplication
-Xms256m
-Dfile.encoding=utf-8
-Xmx2048m
It seems like I have to change the @noDefault but I don't know how to fix it. Please help me :<
You need to run Katalon as administrator.
To do that automatically in Windows, right-click the Katalon shortcut and in Properties > Advanced select the "Run as administrator" checkbox.
