file.choose() opens dialogue without file names on Windows

Question

When I use file.choose or choose.files to select a file, the dialogue window shows folder icons but no text.

This problem did not occur previously. I did update RStudio not too long ago, but I am not sure if that is the cause. I am currently using R 4.1.1 and RStudio 2023.03.0 Build 386.

file.choose is in base and choose.files is in utils , so they should both be up to date. I see this behavior even in a new R process with no additional packages loaded, so I know that I am calling the functions in base R.

Answer 1

Per the comment from @Mikael Jagan, updating R solved this issue.
