my rstudio has only three display surface instead of four you shown on the video, why?

I was prompted to accept or not "crash report" I clicked on yes and I can see a lot of my computer files imported. I would like to disable the feature. Although it was mentioned that it's possible I cannot do so. I uninstalled and re installed R studio but these files are still there.

Hi, Do you have any advice/ best practices on how to handle updates on R Studio? Sometimes I find that some code/packages don't work as expected after updating R Studio, so these days I avoid updating the software. Is this bad? TIA
