RStudio not starting (get stuck) after updating to R4.4.1 and RStudio

Hi, I am having a big issue.
I updated to the new R 4.4.1 and then updated also RStudio simply by downloading and installing the new version, RStudio-2024.09.0-375.
And now RStudio doesn't start anymore....or better it starts but it gets stuck in loading the global environment...

How to solve this...it is highly impairing my work...

I would really appreciate help as this is blocking my work...
Thanks a lot
Gabriella

Does resetting RStudio's state help?
