R session aborted when loading 'raster', 'terra'

[bw_forest]

I updated RStudio to 2022.12.0, and my current R version is 4.2.2. However, after the update I failed to load packages like "raster", "terra", or "lidR"... An error message popped out saying R session aborted, but did not specify any reason. So I uninstalled R and RStudio, re-installed both of them, but this issue still exists. It only crashes when I load certain packages (e.g. raster). I uninstalled those fail-to-run packages and reinstalled them. The re-installation did not have any problem, but it crashed again when I tried to activate them [ for example: library("raster")]. I even tried using previous versions of R/RStudio, but it didn't help. I'm not sure how to solve this problem...

I've tried different solutions, but it crashed every single time, regardless of using R or RStudio. From hundreds of crashes, at one point it generated a report which I hope might be helpful...

unable to find required package ‘raster’

Is this installed. Try

library(raster)

[bw_forest]

Yes, I installed the "raster". I think this error report came out when I just uninstalled the raster package. Now I have it, but R/Rstudio keeps crashing and no longer generates any error report.

[technocrat]

OK, edit your question accordingly and maybe some Windows person can help.

Thanks. I deleted all previous versions of R and downloaded it again. I reinstalled every single package and the problem got solved!
