Currently using RStudio release 2023.09.1-494 because of issues w/ having dataframes refreshing during calculations (see Dataframe in external (pop-out) Viewer is reloaded when using console, and filtering is lost · Issue #15518 · rstudio/rstudio · GitHub).
However, from time to time my RStudio opens up as 2024.12.0 Build 467.
Question: How can I keep the older version of RStudio active and prevent the auto-update action?
Thanks
If you have both versions installed, uninstall the 2024 version (and, if necessary, reinstall the 2023 version). I'm not aware of any automatic update feature.
That's the weird part. I used "Add/Remove Programs" to uninstall the RStudio-2024 version. I even deleted any installation files for the RStudio-2024 version, but my 2023.09-1-494 was still updated.
I'm now keeping a log of when I installed the 2023.09.1-494 and when the 2024-version was installed to see if that helps make any sense of this. This is probably the third or fourth time this has occurred since late December 2024.
Thanks,
There is some state information stored by RStudio that is not necessarily deleted or reset when you uninstall/reinstall RStudio. Instructions for where to find it are here. If you have to remove the most recent version again, try also deleting those files before reinstalling the older version. It's a bit of a long-shot, but who knows?
