Destiny 2 won't launch – BattlEye update failed and Windows permission error

Hi everyone,I'm having trouble launching Destiny 2 through Steam on my PC. The game installs fine, but when I try to launch it, BattlEye shows this: Installing BattlEye Service... BattlEye Service has been successfully installed. Updating... Update failed (1, 28). Please check your internet connection and/or firewall. Launching game... Right after that, I get a Windows error: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." This issue started a few hours ago. Since I didn’t know how to fix it, I uninstalled and reinstalled Destiny 2, but the problem still persists. Additional info: I've already tried running both Steam and Destiny 2 as administrator. I added folder exclusions to Windows Defender and Firewall. My internet connection is stable. I also manually reinstalled BattlEye. Has anyone else run into this issue or found a fix? I'd really appreciate any help or suggestions. Thanks in advance!
