After installing R and RStudio on a Windows 10 computer:
However, there is no response to opening any menu item or typing any command (e.g. help(), demo()) in the console. Also, it will not close gracefully; it must be killed in the process list.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, welcome!
Have you tried changing to software rendering?, you can change it by holding the Ctrl key while opening RStudio, then you should see this menu and change the "Rendering Engine" to "Software".
Hi and thank you for your suggestion!
Unfortunately, it did not help. I even uninstalled and reinstalled R and RStudio to no good effect.
You can also try resetting RStudio's state: https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200534577-Resetting-RStudio-Desktop-s-State
Good idea. I just tried that. It made no difference, unfortunately. 
Thanks for the suggestion!
I'm also having the exact same issue.

As a last resort, you can also try uninstalling and reinstalling both R and RStudio.
If that still doesn't work, the only other guess I have is that this could be related to some other software installed and running on the machine that is somehow interfering with RStudio's normal processing. Some examples we've seen before:
RStudio crashes when Dell Backup and Recovery software is installed: "Rstudio has stopped working" when trying to import data
RStudio freezes after open for a while, when Nahimic from MSI is installed: Fresh Install keeps freezing a few minutes after startup
It could be worth investigating whether closing some of the other software on your machine makes a difference.
Thanks for your response. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, no help. It's probably related to something that's installed on my computer, as I've heard of others in my company with the same issue.
