For the past several months, I have not been able to run RStudio on my 64-bit Windows 10 machine (ver. 21H1). The issue seems to be related to my AMD graphics drivers. My graphics card is an AMD Radeon RX570. When I attempt to launch RStudio, nothing happens on the screen. It doesn't start at all. Windows Event Viewer shows the following entry:

A couple of days ago, I installed an upgrade to the Radeon graphics drivers. RStudio started launching normally afterwards, but just for a day. Now it's back to crashing at start-up again. Not sure how to explain the fact that it worked briefly but then stopped working again.
Is there some workaround for this?
