I've Google around for a few days and searched this forum but haven't quite found a problem/solution that I'm facing.
tl;dr: I can install the 0.5.2 version of the vctrs library in RStudio but run into an error when installing it from VSCode.
Recently when I try to load tidyverse in VSCode, I get the following error:
> library(tidyverse)
Error: package or namespace load failed for 'tidyverse' in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):
namespace 'vctrs' 0.5.1 is being loaded, but >= 0.5.2 is required
Here's my sessionInfo() output:

When I run install.packages("vctrs") to get the latest 0.5.2 version, I get the following error:
> install.packages("vctrs")
Installing vctrs [0.5.1] ...

In RStudio, in a new session,when I install vctrs I do not get an error:

Here's my sessionInfo() in RStudio after I run library(vctrs)--- it installed the 0.5.2 version

Any ideas where I should look to resolve this issue in VSCode? My workaround currently is manually replacing the vctrs folder in my libPaths() with the 0.5.2 version.
