When i launch rstudio I get prompted for a download file? anaconda install

Hi! Welcome!

This problem has been reported before (see RStudio crash on open (downloaded with Anaconda) and the other posts linking to that one).

There hasn’t been any solid explanation, but there are suspicions of a connection with a Windows 10 update. Most people seem to have solved it by switching to installing the RStudio IDE as directly provided by RStudio.

I think that the chances of getting official attention on debugging this issue are low, given that according to previous posts by RStudio employees, installing via anaconda is not officially supported:
