No need to remove PSAT.

1. Change the settings function name of psat in the toolbox folder.
2. Set path to C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2017b\toolbox\matlab\configtools
3. Check that the set path stay on top of any path related to psat toolbox

Now you can run psat from command window without having any error

It looks like you have installed a third-party toolbox called "psat" (Is this the "Power System Analysis Toolbox"?) that has a function called settings, but that is conflicting with a new MATLAB function called settings that was introduced in R2018a.

My guess is that an internal MATLAB function is trying to use the new settings function, but the settings function in the third-party toolbox is conflicting. This means the internal MATLAB function is getting the PSAT version instead, which is generating the error message.

Unfortunately, I think the only solution is to remove the Power System Analysis Toolbox from your MATLAB path until they can update the toolbox to stop overloading the settings method.
