Okay I think I finally got this thing working. I started to disable background applications and testing to see if Rstudio would stop freezing. Apparently, an application called Nahimic by MSI ( a program designed to boost audio quality for gamers) when disabled would allow RStudio to not freeze. I rebooted 4 or 5 different times and everytime I disabled this program RStudio would work and if I didn't disable it RStudio would freeze. Have no idea why this program created a conflict. But Hoorah for finally figuring this out. It was driving me crazy....so mental health can be restored. lol.
