Sometimes latest versions of the software can cause issues when installed on older devices or devices running an older version of the operating system.

Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of R for Windows 4.0.1.

What's new in this version:

New features:
- Paste() and paste0() gain a new optional argument recycle0. When set to true, zero-length arguments are recycled leading to
- character(0) after the sep-concatenation, i.e., to the empty string "" if collapse is a string and to the zero-length value character(0) when collapse = NULL
- A package whose code uses this should depend on R (>= 4.0.1). The summary() method now maps the counts correctly to the warning messages

Bug fixes:
- Aov(frml, ...) now also works where the formula deparses to morethan 500 characters, thanks to a report and patch proposal by Jan Hauffa
- Fix a dozen places (code, examples) as Sys.setlocale() returns the new rather than the previous setting
- Fix for adding two complex grid units via sum(). Thanks to Gu Zuguang for the report and Thomas Lin Pedersen for the patch
- Fix parallel::mclapply(..., mc.preschedule=FALSE) to handle raw vector results correctly
- Computing the base value, i.e., 2, "everywhere", now uses FLT_RADIX, as the original machar code looped indefinitely on the ppc64 architecture for the longdouble case
- In R 4.0.0, sort.list(x) when is.object(x) was true, e.g., for x ) was much slower than previously
- Plot(y ~ x, ylab = quote(y[i])) now works, as e.g., for xlab
- Parallel::detect.cores(all.tests = TRUE) tries a matching OS name before the other tests (which were intended only for unknown OSes)
- Parse data for raw strings is now recorded correctly
