title: package or namespace load failed when trying to load 'stats' package in R
body: <p>I have been trying to work with a git repository and my R 3.6.3 keeps giving me error messages. I have tried reinstalling both R and the stats package, installing Rtools, copying the stats directory from the R folder in other clients but none of seem to be working. The stats package is still found among my packages but R keeps failing to load the .dll file.</p>
  
  <p>The exact error I get is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error message: 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-3.6.3/library/stats/libs/x64/stats.dll': LoadLibrary failure: The specified module could not be found. During startup - Warning message: package ‘stats’ in options("defaultPackages") was not found Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) : unable to load shared object 'C:/Program Files/R/R-3.6.3/library/stats/libs/x64/stats.dll':
