This problem has been reported by two other people:
Rstudio is suddenly failing to launch and is instead prompting me to save an unknown file. I've tried using different versions as well as uninstalling and reinstalling Anaconda, nothing has worked. Has anyone encountered a similar problem and solved it?
[rstudio%20error]
I downloaded RStudio last week via Anaconda along with r-essentials and it worked fine. I came back from vacation today and loaded up RStudio, and now it crashes on open and gives this window:

And no matter what I click it crashes immediately afterwards. Here is my log:
19 May 2018 03:50:29 [rdesktop] ERROR system error 2 (The system cannot find the file specified); OCCURRED AT: void __cdecl rstudio::core::http::NamedPipeAsyncClient::connectAndWriteRequest(void) C:\Users\builder\m64\conda-bld\rstudio_1519582538781\work\src\cpp\core\include\core/http/NamedPipeAsyncClient.hpp:84; LOGGED FROM: void __cdecl rstudio:
It's not clear what's causing the problem, but the solution so far has been to uninstall anaconda's RStudio and instead install download and the RStudio IDE directly from RStudio's website . Is there any particular reason you chose to install the RStudio IDE via anaconda?
P.S. I changed the category of this post to RStudio IDE what's the difference between R and RStudio?)
