After updating the R version from 3.5 to 4.0 I am facing installation issues with devtools package. Having Rtools 4.0 and RStudio-1.2.5042 downloaded and installed. when I try to install devtools
install.packages("devtools")
I get this message:

And when I load the package I get this error
library(devtools)
Error: package ‘usethis’ required by ‘devtools’ could not be found
If I try to check the packages in the installation directory
find.package("devtools")

For usethis package I get this error
find.package("usethis")
Error in find.package("usethis") : there is no package called ‘usethis’
How can I solve this?
