Can you please provide a minimal reprex (reproducible example)? The goal of a reprex is to make it as easy as possible for me to recreate your problem so that I can fix it: please help me help you!

If you've never heard of a reprex before, start by reading "What is a reprex", and follow the advice further down the page.

Hmmm, I'm not sure what system you're on that's preventing this, but try not loading tidyverse and instead just running tidyverse::tidyverse_update()

from tidyverse.

Thank you! tidyverse::tidyverse_update() worked.

Sorry, still having trouble with tidyverse_update().
Maybe I'm not following proper installation procedure - don't install packages while they are currently loaded?
Things seem to be working fine if I restart RStudio and do the install/update before running anything else.

tidyverse::tidyverse_update()

  Update now?

I ran into the same problem now. I just restarted R Studio and used install.packages() to update each package that couldn't update using tidyverse_update().
