Well, actually it doesn't matter much because I almost never use this function, and when I do, I use RStudio projects anyway with relative paths. It was just out of curiosity and trying to understand why it behaves in this (unexpected) way.

Hello,
This is off-topic, it's been a while since I update my version of Windows.
Running R 3.6.3, RGui on Windows 7, sessionInfo() below.
The unexpected behavior I got is different from those posted so far.
In all cases the dialog window was closed without choosing a file.
Note: I don't have a directory C:\data so I changed to the home dir.
old_dir <- getwd()
old_dir
#[1] "C:/Programas/R/R-3.6.3/bin/x64"
file.choose() # works, current dir was not changed
setwd('~/')
getwd()
#[1] "C:/Users/Rui/Documents"
file.choose() # doesn't work, still in
"C:/Programas/R/R-3.6.3/bin/x64"
file.choose() # works at the second time
setwd('C:/')
getwd()
#[1] "C:/"
file.choose() # doens't work, still in "C:/Users/Rui/Documents"
file.choose() # works at the second time
setwd(old_dir)
getwd()
#[1] "C:/Programas/R/R-3.6.3/bin/x64"
file.choose() # doesn't work, still in "C:/"
file.choose() # works at the second time
