I found that plotly was not working in my version of r studio that I was running through a VDI, I was reading a forum post online and tried changing the rendering engine to 'Desktop OpenGL'. However, during restarting rstudio crashed, and no when I try to reopen it I just get the error 'RStudio has stopped working'.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both RStudio and R but this has had no effect on the problem.
I have R version 3.5.3 and Rstudio 1.2.1335
Can anyone offer some advice on how to fix this?
For anyone who runs into a similar problem as this, in order to reset the graphics settings, or any settings for that matter, you will need to delete the preferences folder.
On windows find this by via start --> Run and entering the command
%appdata%\RStudio
Once you have deleted this (or moved it somewhere to back it up) you can open RStudio, which will automatically create a new preferences folder.
