RStudio is not opening, just shows the RStudio logo - rstudio

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?

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.

Why has R studio (along with other not installed apps) disappeared from my home screen in Anaconda Navigator?

I installed Anaconda Navigator in my laptop (which uses Ubuntu). The first time I installed it it showed R studio, Orange and some other apps available for install. However, I closed Anaconda Navigator (presumably during the installation) and the next time I opened it the icon of R studio, Orange, etc didn't show.
I tried Updating indexes, completely removing Anaconda, rebooting and reinstalling it, but nothing worked.
However, it is remarkable that when I opened it the first time after I reinstalled Anaconda, it did indeed show the icons for R studio and etc. Then the program acted as if it was updating something and some seconds later all those apps disappeared again. This time it didn't even let me hit the "install" button.

Old version of RStudio automatically reinstalled after an update

I have just updated the RStudio to the newest available version. Turning on the computer (Windows 10) the next day and launching RStudio I see that it is back to version 1.4.1106, that has somehow been automatically reinstalled.
I have tried uninstalling 1.4.1106 multiple times and installing both earlier and later versions, but every time I restart it is back to 1.4.1106. Please suggest how I can be able to fix this.

How to install C++Builder (RAD Studio) documentation

I've clicked a "Help" button in an error message box shown by the C++Builder IDE, and another error message box pops up telling me
RAD Studio's help is not installed. Please reinstall RAD Studio's documentation.
So I seem to have missed checking the checkbox for installing the help when installing C++Builder 11.2. I would like to fix that and install the documentation.
When I invoke the C++Builder installer again, the installer says
A previous version of RAD Studio 11 was found on your system that needs to be uninstalled first.
But the message is not quite correct, it is not a previous version that is installed, but the exact same version: 11.2 is currently installed, and the installer that I execute is for 11.2, and exactly the same installer that I have previously used to install the current version. I've double-checked.
Is uninstalling and reinstalling the only way to get the documentation for the 11.2 version, or is there some way how I can just add the documentation to the existing installation?
Edited:
As Remy Lebeau has pointed out in a comment to this answer, you can open a "feature manager" inside RADStudio by choosing menu item Tools->"Manage Platforms..." which will show you all options from the installer again, and allow to change the options and apply the changes.
I wish I had known this before I actually uninstalled and reinstalled C++Builder with some hassles (described in the original answer).

How Can I Uninstall RStudio from Anaconda

I need to uninstall RStudio from Anaconda from my windows 10 laptop and cannot get it to work. Here is why and what I’ve tried so far.
Trying to launch RStudio Desktop (64 bit) from Anaconda I get a blank screen followed by a dialogue box asking that name a download file. This same issue documented in these three links.
failed to start rstudio (installed in Anaconda)
https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues/2802
https://community.rstudio.com/t/r-does-not-launch-properly/8630
The culprit is incompatibility with the latest version of Windows 10 and the fix is not scheduled any time soon.
All posts indicate RStudio (not actually R itself although some recommend do both) needs to be un-installed and then re-installed from their respective official sites.
I tried going through Windows control panel to uninstall it, but RStudio program does not show up in the list of available apps to uninstall. (I do see R for Windows 3.4 but that’s R itself not RStudio) I searched through file explorer and see the program in my AppData/local folder with a short cut to it in my start menu. Then there are dozens of references to RStudio from within Anaconda folders.
I've searched this site and many others including Git, RStudio Community, Anaconda documentation...everything explains uninstalling R-base or how generally to uninstall packages, but nothing about RStudio.
I also tried working through these alternative suggestions from RStudio support to no avail.

What else can I try?
To uninstall R studio from Anaconda, you can go into the Anaconda environment itself. In the environment there is a setting icon ( black wheel ) on each application icon. Click on that and then remove the application.

This happened with my VS 2010 Beta. I used Revo Uninstaller and removed all file/registry entries and then installed the latest version of VS 2010.
Sometimes things get a bit messed up when installing and uninstalling lots of ctps. Try this uninstall/reinstall sequence for anything that might be getting in the way.
