I know that similar questions have been already asked on stackoverflow, but I couldn't find the exact answer to my problem.
Rstudio gives me the following error upon opening the sw:
R version 4.2.1 (2022-06-23 ucrt) -- "Funny-Looking Kid"

During startup - Warning message:

Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) :

I should say that Rstudio was working before I installed RTools. After installing RTools frome here, I unistalled and reinstalled RStduio multiple times, but I always get the same issue. In particular, not only I get that error on start, but I basically cannot load packages

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘ggplot2’ in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...):
unable to load shared object 'C:/Program Files/R/R-4.2.1/library/stats/libs/x64/stats.dll':
LoadLibrary failure: The specified module could not be found.
However, I can load packages on base R, so I don't understand what the problem is. Moreover, the package stats.dll is indeed inside the folder in the path mentioned in the error. Thus, I don't get why RStudio gives me an error. I also checked the .Renviron file on base R, which contains the following text
PATH="${RTOOLS40_HOME}\usr\bin;${C:\rtools42}"
which I accessed through base R as follows
usethis::edit_r_environ()
• Modify 'C:/Users/Sam/Documents/.Renviron'
• Restart R for changes to take effect
Please, note that I have Windows, as you might see from the file path.
Thank you for your help.
