Alejandra,

If it was initially working ok, I would first check with the IT department if there has been a change to the configuration of the firewall, virus scanners, file system etc. as these can affect the performance of R-studio. R-studio uses a client-server setup on your machine, so a firewall/malware scanner inspecting all communication between R-studio and the R session can have a large effect. If you can't find the problem, you are probably better of asking at the R-studio fora. A similar question was asked a while back: https://community.rstudio.com/t/rstudio-suddenly-slow-processing/4959; perhaps some of the solutions proposed also work for you.

As an alternative to Emacs/R-studio you could also have a look at visual studio code. It has a R-plugin. If your organisation is microsoft oriented there might already be a chance that it is available. You need a relatively recent version though.

HTH,
Jan

Just to add to Petr's comment there are other basic editors with syntax highlighting like Notepad++ which are also OK if you want a fairly minimalist approach.

Hallo Alejandra

Although RStudio and ESS could help with some automation (each with its own way), using R alone is not a big problem, especially if you are not familiar
with Emacs basics and perceiving RStudio issues. I use R with simple
external editor - it could be notepad but I could recommend TINN-R

https://sourceforge.net/projects/tinn-r/

which has syntax highlighting and works smoothly if R is console is set to
multiple windows. It is also quite easy to manage.

Good luck with R.

Cheers
Petr

Subject: [R] Help with connection issue for R (just joined, leading R for
our
agency)

Dear fellow R users,

Greetings, I am new to this list. I joined because I am pioneering the use
of R
for the agency I work for. I essentially work alone and would like to
reach
out for help on an issue I have been having. Here it is:

    - From one day to the next, my RStudio does not execute commands when
I
    press ctrl + enter. Nothing happens, and then after a few minutes out
of
    nowhere, it runs everything at once. This makes it very hard to do my
work.
    - I tried uninstalling and re-installing both R and Rstudio, but the
    error comes up again. I tested commands on my R program alone, and it
works
    fine there. It could be the way that Rstudio connects to R.
    - I am on a Windows 10 computer. I work for a government agency so
there
    may be a few firewall/virus protection issues.

I would love any pointers.

Thank you,
Alejandra
