I have installed rstudio on a windows 10 computer. However`a few minutes after loading up RStudio freezes and becomes unresponsive. I have tried a few different things from several other help menus but nothing has seemed to work yet. Any thoughts?
Error Information:
Description of issue -
Freezing on startup Attempted steps taken to fix -
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling.
I tried installing an older version of Rstudio
I have tried changing the rendering engine.
System Information:
RStudio Edition: (Desktop or Server)
Desktop RStudio-1.1.463
I tried both versions and both freeze. I am currently running version 1.2.1335. When I originally typed this the program had frozen so didn't look at the 'RStudio About help menu' .Glanced at my download files and wrote down the wrong one :-/
Just tried this. Still freezing after just a few moments. It seems to freeze about 30 seconds after loading up. This is with just pulling up and going through menus.
Does the IDE freeze in response to some specific action, or does it seem to occur at any time? Does the entire IDE freeze (e.g. you cannot even type text into the Source editor), or just the R console becomes unresponsive?
It is definitely the IDE that freezes and not just the R console. I have changed the render type a couple of times and it seems like it might make a little difference but ultimately it still freezes. It freezes not form what specific command. It is me just literally looking at the drop down menus.
I deleted the other appdata folders and restarted and still the same thing. I also retried after doing this by changing the rendering engines again and still same thing. When you go to task manager to close out RStudio it list the CPU usage at 0%. WIll try the daily build next.
It seems like a long shot based on everything you've done, but have you tried installing R/RStudio as an administrator? This issue sounds at least nominally similar, and that's what fixed the freezing problem for the OP there.
Okay I think I finally got this thing working. I started to disable background applications and testing to see if Rstudio would stop freezing. Apparently, an application called Nahimic by MSI ( a program designed to boost audio quality for gamers) when disabled would allow RStudio to not freeze. I rebooted 4 or 5 different times and everytime I disabled this program RStudio would work and if I didn't disable it RStudio would freeze. Have no idea why this program created a conflict. But Hoorah for finally figuring this out. It was driving me crazy....so mental health can be restored. lol.
