Rstudio Starting Error

HI,

Error Information: ERROR directory_reader

My Rstudio kept aborting sessions yesterday, then today it will not open at all.
I tried uninstalling R and Rstudio, restarting my computer, and then reinstalling R followed by Rstudio. Next I deleted all the .Rdata files on my computer. Then I tried removing and reinstalling a second time. I updated the windows environment variable for R. The error message was the same after every attempted fix.

System Information:

  • RStudio Edition: Desktop
  • RStudio Version: Cherry Blossom (2023)
  • OS Version: Windows 11
  • R Version: latest
  • No output emitted
