I am trying to load the httpuv package after installing it in a fresh R 4.4.1 session without success (using install.packages("httpuv")). Once installed, I try to load it using library(httpuv) and the following error pops up:

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘httpuv’ in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...):
 unable to load shared object 'C:/Users/js/AppData/Local/R/win-library/4.4/httpuv/libs/x64/httpuv.dll':
  LoadLibrary failure:  No se encontró el proceso especificado.

The error suggests that the .dll does not exist, but when I browse that location the .dll is there. Also, I can load other installed packages (e.g., dplyr) and I checked that rtools is installed with pkgbuild::find_rtools().
