Rstudio startup issue "GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye."

RStudio IDE
1

Hi,

I have R and R studio installed following RStudio Desktop - Posit ,
but I am unsuccessful to start up the Rstudio IDE . The error message is below.
This error occurred on two different computers.

I have tried the steps in https://support.posit.co/hc/en-us/articles/200488508-RStudio-Desktop-IDE-Will-Not-Start. Any pointers are welcome.

Thanks,

Ivo

The root cause of this issue was overzealous security software.
