RStudio Crashing immediately when starting

Error Information: I am not receiving an error message. The RStudio application looks like it is going to open and the immediately closes.

Description of issue - I am using a Mac Intel UHD with MacOS Sequoia 15.2. When I start the RStudio app it appears to open for about one second before closing. The console never appears on the screen.

Attempted steps taken to fix -
I attempted to reinstall, R, RStudio, and XQuartz. Cleared out all R-related files and started from scratch but am still unable to open RStudio. The R application opens though and the problem is only seen when I open RStudio.

System Information:

  • RStudio Edition: (Desktop or Server)
  • RStudio Version: 2024.12.0+467
  • OS Version: [R-4.4.2-x86_64.pkg
  • R Version: 4.4.2 (2024-10-31) -- "Pile of Leaves"
  • Output your diagnostics report (if possible):

Does resetting RStudio's desktop state help?

I tried resetting RStudio's desktop, but it is still not working.

Bear with me, as I am not a Mac user. If you open a command prompt and run the RStudio executable there, do you get any error messages? Also, when RStudio closes can you run a command to list all running processes on the machine and confirm RStudio is not running (as opposed to running but disconnected from your window manager)?

I appreciate your help with this, Paul.

I went and restored my computer from a backup from November when I know for sure it was working. That seems to have resolved the issue and it is working again. I am going to update other apps one at a time to see if there is some conflict that another app creates.
