    For what is worth, I had too this kind of behaviour and it was due to Power BI pointing at the wrong directories for Python and R installs, correcting them enabled settings menu to work properly.

    Had the same issue, but our solutions was to remove the directory in Python Scripting instead of R. We had a wrong folder in Python options, which showed a warning in that section. 

    After deleting the wrong setting, it worked.
