Windows support is going to be a little stretched for a while, since Tomáš Kalibera's passing. If Ivan's patch doesn't fix the issue you're having it would be worth commenting in the bug report. If you can't test it, that would be worth mentioning here.

Hello Manuel,

Output of sessionInfo() and Sys.getlocale() on an affected machine
Whether OneDrive is redirecting the Documents folder on the affected accounts (localized 
folder names like "Documentos" plus OneDrive path
injection is the common thread in prior reports)
Output of utils::readRegistry("Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell 
Folders", "HCU") so they can see the raw path
R is trying to convert


About dropping the ñ, (I did understand is like a joke), I want to say I'm not 
a windows user but almost all of my students are, and I don't
want this prevent them to use R.


I want to notice that USERPROFILE is correctly set:
Sys.getenv("USERPROFILE")
[1] "C:\\Users\\Muñoz"
Sys.getenv("R_USER")
[1] ""
Sys.getenv("HOME")
[1] ""


At the end the more output info.

Should I include this as a bug in R's Bugzilla or is enough to put here?

Best, Manuel.
