Saving an R-Script results in empty file

Question

I have recently started using R for uni. I want to save my code using either save as or ctrl+s. However, the saved file is empty more often than not. For some reason, the files save normally on a few occasions. However, they also became empty after saving changes to the script.

I couldn't find any solution for the problem, neither here nor anywhere else.

I am using RStudio installed via Anaconda on an Windows 10 x64 Notebook, if that helps.

Thanks a lot for the responses! I'd be glad to provide more details if needed!

This is what the saved files look like from File Explorer:

Answer 1

i couldn't reproduce the error but i also don't like to use the anaconda environment.

if the problem is saving the text file than may i suggest to do just that and save the code in a regular .txt file?

if this is not an option you can try to find out what happens if you save the r studio code on a different drive (or usb/flash drive)
