Issue with installed.packages - Endless loop - "Updating Loaded Packages - One or more of the packages that will be updated by installation are currently loaded. Restarting R prior to updating these packages is strongly recommended"

I find that restarting R from this dialog box does not always do the trick. I recommend hitting "Cancel" and then using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + F10 to restart your R session. Then retry installing the package.
