    Is this on the same machine that you built it from Unity? Or did you transfer the build to a different machine?

    Check this Windows Support page for basic troubleshooting.

    Since Unity successfully generated the build, it's probably not a permission issue and unlikely to be a Unity problem.
    The mostly likely cause is the executable is being blocked by your Antivirus.

    Did you try building a game to a different folder, perhaps somewhere outside of %USERPROFILE% (not that it should matter...)? Do you know which file it's not able to access?

    It can’t access the exe, and I tried building in a different folder and it didn’t work

    Can you go into the folder/file properties and see if you have the permission to open the file, and if you don't, can you try granting it to yourself?

    Did you by any chance install the editor from another Windows user or something?
