Rstudio fails to start when switching from 64-bit version of R-4.2.0 to 32-bit version of R-3.6.3

Hello! First time question asker here, so please let me know if additional info is helpful!

The issue:
When I try to open RStudio using my 32-bit installation of R-3.6.3, it fails to start.

Background:
Similar to this thread (RStudio no longer starts after having switched to 32-bit R) I am also chasing down why my RODBC package is no longer connecting to MS Access databases that it was connecting to fine a few weeks ago. The RODBC package is apparently only supported on 32-bit R? The last version of 32-bit R is 3.6.3. so I was doing fine by switching my RStudio back and forth between 3.6.3 and 4.02 depending on which code I was working on. Recently however, RStudio is failing to load with my 32 bit installation.

Attempted fixes:
-uninstalled/reinstalled R 3.6.3 (32 & 64 bit - 32 bit fails to load, 64 bit loads fine)
-uninstalled/reinstalled RStudio
-tested code in R GUI using R 3.6.3 install and code works

Question:
It seems like this poster also has the same set of error messages I'm seeing (RStudio-2022.07.1-554 support for 32bit R running on Windows 10 64bit) - Has anyone got (1) an update on this thread? or (2) advice on how to troubleshoot further? Thank you!!

System Info:
RStudio Edition: Desktop
