.onLoad failed when loading packages: how to troubleshoot?

[Donald]

First, apologies for the pictures. I have no clue on how to make this a reproducible example.

Last night a job was interrupted by a loss of internet connection.

Issue

Since then for some reason packages won't load normally using library.

1. In some R sessions packages load normally, code execution runs fine.

2. When I open another instance, it will throw a bunch errors that differ each time library is called
   

3. Other times it prints *** recursive gc invocation before failing, often terminating the R session.

4. However, sometimes the 2nd library call runs just fine...
   

What I've done so far:

• Reinstall the package devtools

• Update R to 4.1.1, clean install of all packages

• Deleted any .RData files I could find

• Disable virus protection - issue persists

• Run commands in R without RStudio IDE - working normally

• Read diagnostics

Question

Any tips on how to proceed troubleshooting this issue?

about 100 library(tidyverse)'s later it seems the following has solved the issue:

1. Tools > Global Options > untick "Restore most recently opened project at startup" and "Restore previously open source documents at startup". Click Apply

2. Clear projects list (file menu > clear projects list)
