Unable to load shared object on startup in RStudio only

Question

I'm not sure what I did, and my IS team is stumped. I updated R from 3.5.2 to 3.6.0 and R throws this error when opened in RStudio There is no problem when running R in the gui.

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘stats’ in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...):
 unable to load shared object 'C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.0/library/stats/libs/x64/stats.dll':
  LoadLibrary failure:  The specified module could not be found.

I can navigate to the stats.dll file and the location matches my .libPaths() :

"C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.0/library"

I have uninstalled and reinstalled both R and RStudio (1.2.1335). I have also restarted my computer. Any help or even temporary solutions would be appreciated.

I found the answer on RStudio Community: I had a typo in one of the variables used in Sys.getenv("PATH")
