So, been playing for years, all of a sudden, launching game I get this error. "Windows cannot access specified device, path or file. You may not have appropriate permissions." path is "Program Files\WindowsApps\Bungie.DestinyPCbasegame..." etc...
Other games on PC launch without issue. This occurs just as Battle Eye is doing its thing, so I'm guessing that's at the core of problem here. I also suspect there is a solution, so would surely hope for some quick help.
Thanks!

I’ve been having the same issue all day. Did you find a solution?

found this thread with this as a potential solution.. ive been through 2 reinstalls and 2 windows resets (2nd one being a full drive wipe).. as im typing on the 3rd reinstall and if the game doesnt launch will attempt the following... [b]As a solution to the error Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. I'd like to share with you again the workaround that someone found in another thread, in case anyone missed that comment. For Microsoft Store / Xbox PC users, In the "BELauncher.ini" file in the XBoxGames\Destiny 2 (PC)\Content\installers\battleye folder, you need to write the location of the game in the 64BitExe= section, for example D:/XboxGames/Destiny 2 (PC)/Content/Destiny2.exe. Do not forget to check that the location I wrote is likely to not match your Destiny2.exe location. Then, in the folder D:\XboxGames\Destiny 2 (PC)\Content\installers\battleye Run BEService_x64.exe as administrator. Run destiny2launcher.exe in D:\XBoxGames\Destiny 2 (PC)\Content\installers as administrator. After the game launches, you will be able to log in. At least that's how it worked for me and my friend. Note that this game folder location may differ for you and you should check it. Have good games =) I don't know if this solution works for Steam users, but if anyone has tried it and had success, it might be useful for others. Credits for @sin[/b]
