RStudio is not opening, just shows the RStudio logo

I recently uninstalled the versions of R and RStudio that I had and downloaded the latest versions of R(4.2.2) and RStudio. This is on Windows 10.

The first time I try to open RStudio after downloading the newest version, was the first time I had this problem but I closed and try to opened again and it work just fine, but now it isn't working, I also try to open the most recent work I had, that show when I click with the right click of the mouse in the rstudio logo on the taskbar and it try to open rstudio but it was a black screen and nothing else happen. What can I do?

Try installing R using the terminal, and reopen the App.

I have the same issue of seeing only R logo while opening R Studio. I have the following:

  • Three versions of R for Windows: 4.2.0, 4.2.2, and 4.3.2.
  • The R Studio version is 2023.12.1+402.
  • Windows 11 Home

Steps below worked for me:

  • Right-click RStudio logo on desktop
  • Open Properties
  • Choose the Compatibility tab
  • Click the box Run compatibility troubleshooter
  • Check Yes (Are you trying to troubleshoot this executable program, C:\Program Files\RStudio\rstudio.ext?)
  • Check The program doesn't display correctly. (What is the problem are you having with this app?)
  • After the system completes a diagnosis, it asks "Do you want us to apply recommended compatibility settings for you?". Check Yes.

After the above fix, RStudio opens as expected. Hope this also works for others.

I had the same problem, but I solved it in a very strange way.

  1. From the start-up, I searched for the R version on my computer and opened the R console application (without R studio).

  2. After that, I launched R studio and it opened successfully (Don't close the R console you opened in step 1 while launching R studio)

  3. Next, I changed the global option to select the specific version of R (4.3.0) in R studio.

It is now opening correctly.

I had this "only logo" problem. I solved it by unchecking the auto-detect for R version in R Studio global options

I am facing the same problem today. Only logo of "R" appears while opening R studio. After checking I got to know, I have installed two "R" versions i.e. 4.2.1 and 4.2.2. After uninstalling the old version of R (4.2.1), The R studio worked correctly.

I encountered and solved the same problem after installing the latest versions of R Studio and R(4.2.2 as I write this)

The logo was displayed as when loading without the interface ever appearing.

It appears I had 2 versions of R: the latest and and older (3.5.1). I solved the problem by uninstalling the latest R version in my case. I didn't need to uninstall/reinstall R Studio however.

When starting R studio just displayed a box telling me that it needs R to work, then I manually chose the R 64-bit version (3.5.1) that I possess on my computer in the menu proposed in the box.

I don't know if the issue was due to two R versions installed at the same time (the latest and an older), or specifically caused by the latest, either way uninstalling the latest R version I had solved my issue.

So you should check if you have two R versions installed, or installing an older version of R as 3.5.1. The problem seemed however unrelated to R Studio.
