Cannot login/create new account

Hi, requesting your help - cannot log in to my old account, neither possible to create a new one. Tried to uninstall the game, delete all associated files, re-install, change the read-write permissions, run as admin, verify the profile files, the issue persists. See the log cited below:

UPD: solution found - Windows defender was silently blocking the access to the folder with profiles regardless of running the launcher as administrator. If anyone has the same issue - allow the access to the folder in the Windows defender. Windows defender > Protection history > select the entry > actions > allow on device.

That "Could not find file" error is universal symptom of Controlled Folder Access blocking file write. If an app says it cannot save the file, saying it's not there, but you know the path is correct, then it's almost 100% of the time caused by Controlled Folder Access.
