Hello,
I recently bought a new PC with Windows 10, and to my dismay Rstudio has become a nightmare to work with. Within 10-20 minutes of activity, it becomes slow to respond to any type of activity within the script or console. Typing, scrolling, clicking the menu, clicking objects in the environment, browsing the console etc. The slowness gets worse over time, that is, when I first start Rstudio it works fine for 10-20 minutes and then gradually deteriorates until it becomes unworkable. The problem isn't limited to a particular project or script.
I tried every suggestion I could find online to sort this out but to no avail. This includes: changing compatibility mode (to windows 8), adding Rstudio as an 'exclusion' on my antivirus, pausing/disabling windows updates and all the 'basics' of clearing the console, zoom on "100%", disabling diagnostics, restarting R. Also, this is a new PC, i.e., it is practically 'empty' with nothing in particular to take up space or eat up memory as I'm working.
Some technical details:
RStudio version: 2021.09.0-351.exe
R version: 4.1.1
Windows 10 Pro
Processor intel i7, x64 bit
I'm at my wits end at this point, any thoughts or ideas on how to fix this?
