People who understand R and RStudio, please help me out.
I've been asked to use it for a class that is neither a stats nor an IT unit, so none of us are experienced with the tech.
Here's the issue:
I open RStudio. It shows me a mostly blank screen with the usual row of menus along the top plus the RStudio logo and name. Each menu displays (empty). In a separate window it opens the RStudio logo only.
I can't work out how to make it display menus and the rest of the UI.
It was working normally yesterday.
I have tried turning all aspects of the situation off and on again. I haven't tried downloading RStudio again.
Edit: possibly relevant, it's running on a basic laptop that's over 10yo.

That looks like a broken install. It should not look like that. I suggest uninstalling it and installing it again. Alternatively you can use other software instead of Rstudio to work with R:
VScode
Rkward
If you are on Windows, R comes with it's own very minimal GUI that some of my colleagues still exclusively use
