Windows 10: Rainbow Six game not running

ERRORWith the conversation I had with Ubisoft support, all my games run, but the only game that doesn't run is Rainbow Six. When Anti-Cheat wants to run this game, Windows doesn't allow access to the files. I added a virus and I still get this errorMSInfo.txtDxDiag.txt
