Uninstall/reinstall does not delete the RStudio state files, which are stored elsewhere. Try resetting the state as described here.

Hi prubin,

unfortunaletly this has not solved my problem. R re installs ok. When I launct it I can see the icon on the system tray(Windows 11) . Still cant see any window launching to monitor. Still only see a blank black screen.

Are there any other hidden directories I should be looking at ?

Regards

Pete

I don't know of any other hidden directories. You mentioned R launching -- did you mean RStudio? Just to be clear, if you open a command prompt and run R from there, does R work correctly? Assuming yes, try launching RStudio from the command prompt (after exiting R, of course) and see if any error messages are displayed.
