2 years ago I've tried that too, but it generates the above described won't-start behaviour of RStudio as long as checklist dependencies aren't installed first. In my case. Weird. Will try once again with your update after restarting Windows.

Yes, but not forever. It seems, in practice, that idle instances of RStudio are present as a background process, doing nothing. See conclusion at the end.
Problem confirmed using #312 (Rprofile.site at 31a7ef0):
Rprofile.site if dependencies ‘httpcode’, ‘triebeard’, ‘lazyeval’, ‘systemfonts’, ‘textshaping’, ‘crul’, ‘pingr’, ‘urltools’, ‘codemeta’, ‘rex’, ‘cyclocomp’, ‘xmlparsedata’, ‘backports’, ‘downlit’, ‘ragg’, ‘fauxpas’, ‘data.table’, ‘codemetar’, ‘lintr’, ‘pkgdown’, ‘rorcid’ are missing.if() statement for checklist (Rprofile.site)install.packages("checklist"). Gives no problem, the above deps are installed and then checklist.if() statement in Rprofile.site and restart RStudio. This shows no problems anymore.Now, a further experiment with the repaired state:
remove.packages("checklist")checklist is auto-installed:R version 4.2.0 (2022-04-22 ucrt) -- "Vigorous Calisthenics"

Oops. Was that what I was expecting?

Update: the problem lies with RStudio itself. With Rgui.exe, it works. Hence, will close this issue again since it shouldn't happen with current Rprofile.site. Thanks for the update.

@ThierryO there are some problems with
Rprofile.site(at 29bf515) in Windows, whenchecklistand a bunch of dependencies are still missing:checklistinstallation is done before setting a CRAN mirror. This triggers RStudio to show a dialogue to select one, which isn't ideal.checklistinstallation fails:It can be remedied manually, while still in the same session:
Some other observations:
