Multiple R instances upon start-up

On a Windows 11 machine, when opening RStudio
RStudio 2024.09.1+394 "Cranberry Hibiscus" Release (a1fe401fc08c232d470278d1bc362d05d79753d9, 2024-11-03) for windows

If you backed up the directory contents, you can try restoring portions and see if the problem remains resolved. That would get back some (most?) of your normal routine.

I think you may be bumping into this issue: R starts twice when opening Rstudio · Issue #6907 · rstudio/rstudio · GitHub

Fortunately, the issue should otherwise be harmless, as per R starts twice when opening Rstudio · Issue #6907 · rstudio/rstudio · GitHub.
