Sparklyr connection error: Error in spark_connect_gateway(gatewayAddress, gatewayPort, sessionId, : Gateway in localhost:8880 did not respond

I am having the following issue while connecting to sparkyr.

sc <- spark_connect(master = "local")
* Using Spark: 2.4.3
Error in spark_connect_gateway(gatewayAddress, gatewayPort, sessionId,  : 
  Gateway in localhost:8880 did not respond.


Try running `options(sparklyr.log.console = TRUE)` followed by `sc <- spark_connect(...)` for more debugging info.

Some info:

spark_installed_versions()
  spark hadoop
1 2.4.3    2.7
                                                               dir
1 C:\\Users\\88015\\AppData\\Local/spark/spark-2.4.3-bin-hadoop2.7

I tried out many suggestions from google but I could not fix this issue. Can anyone help, please?
