Hi community,
I've got an issue where a colleague of mine is unable to use RStudio however it works fine for myself and everyone else.
When trying to open RStudio he sees a message stating "R is taking longer to start than usual" and has the option to refresh or terminate R.
We have confirm R is installed and can be opened without issues.
We have completely reinstalled RStudio and R (Making sure to remove any folders relating to these in %appdata% and %localappdata%) but this has not solved the problem as it has for others on the forums.
Would greatly appreciate some support on what we can try to get this resolved as he is the only person with this issue.
You might try having your colleague run RStudio from a command prompt, to see if there are any informative error messages generated.

Thank you for the response.
Quick question, do you simply mean loading up CMD and launching the app via there or is there a specific command that will help show if there are any errors?

The former. There is an option to write diagnostics to a file, but if I recall correctly that does not actually start the app, so you wouldn't see error messages. Just run the .exe file and see what if anything gets printed in the command window.

Interestingly, when I run RStudio from CMD prompt (Which we have to run as admin for it to load) RStudio works totally fine, no issues.
I have reinstalled R and RStudio and confirmed that the Library for R is in a location that my colleague has access to however it still fails without running as admin...
It seems to be a fault with his user profile.
