Error when plotting on RStudio: Error in RStudioGD() : Shadow graphics device error: r error 4 (R code execution error)

Hello everyone!

I am trying to plot something simple in Rstudio and this error shows up:

> plot(cars)
Error in RStudioGD() : 
  Shadow graphics device error: r error 4 (R code execution error)
Además: Warning messages:
1: In grDevices:::png("C:/Users/Usuario/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpuYmueE/bcbe775221654e0e80c35484134dae4c.png",  :
  unable to open file 'C:/Users/Usuario/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpuYmueE/bcbe775221654e0e80c35484134dae4c.png' for writing
2: In grDevices:::png("C:/Users/Usuario/AppData/Local/Temp/RtmpuYmueE/bcbe775221654e0e80c35484134dae4c.png",  :
  opening device failed 

Plus everytime I start a new session this message appears in the console: Graphics error: Plot rendering error

I tried updating R and Rstudio, and the problem is still there. I also manually installed the R tools manually and it still does not work. I have also tried installing an older version of RStudio and the error persists.

It's important to say that R works fine for me, it's RStudio that is giving me problems...

I am working on Windows, if it makes any difference.

Any help would be welcome, I'm in complete loss.
