Freeze on re-load with desktop studio

Hi There,
I have been having an issue with R studio freezing after loading libraries, and while loading my dataset (usually ~ 4mb)
I always get a spinning wheel in the environments pane (where my df are)
I can not find any common denominator as it occurs with different scripts/datasets and libraries.
The usual fix is to force quit and restart.
This issue DOES NOT happen when I first boot up studio. But occurs ~80% of the time thereafter.
The workaround I have been using is to load the libraries in one md chunk, and then load my data from a separate chuck.

This was not occurring with my prior versions of R studio

Please let me know what other data I can provide
Studio Version 2023.12.1+402 (2023.12.1+402)
R version 4.4.1 gui 180 nig sur arm
running on a mbp M1 16 gb with sonoma 14.5

Not sure that's the answer, but I got a similar problem when my hard drive was close to full.

The issue might be due to RStudio or your specific M1 Mac setup. Try updating RStudio, R, and all packages to their latest versions. Also, consider resetting RStudio’s state or running it in a fresh R profile. If the problem continues, checking with RStudio support for compatibility issues or bugs might be necessary.
