Congrats on getting it working. It would be good to share how your problem was solved in case anyone else runs into the same issue.

For reference.
In my experience, it may work when you fail to start Rstudio after doing any suggestions from the topics.
First, uninstall R and Rstudio from your computer.
Second, go to folder C:\Users...\AppData\Local and delete folders R and Rstudio completely.
Finally, reinstall R and Rstudio.
Note, remember to restart your computer after each step (uninstall and install).
Hope this will help.
