I click Rage to start game then GTA launcher starts then as the screen goes black I see an flash of white and a Rage error box that says "Insufficient permissions" try restarting computer. Help please.

I have turned all I can off in the taskbar (Hidden Icons) and even some stuff through task manager, but to no avail. Even stripped out the mods.

I have the latest LSPDFR, Ragehook, ScripthookV and all plugins are up to date.

added Info

Which platform are you using? If you use Epic Games Launcher, you can't start by Rage directly as mentioned HERE. You have to start the game normally and then start Rage.

 

Otherwise, if you use an Antivirus, you might try adding the Entire GTAV folder to its exceptions. 

Even if you don't use an external AV, you should add  the GTAV folder to the default Windows Defender exclusion list (assuming you are on Windows).

(Just saying this because when I faced this issue, it was because of this AV thing blocking some of its actions.)

I use Avira AV and have tried with exceptions, turned off, and the same with windows defender. I've even disconnected from the Internet.

There used to be a pinned post about this quite some time ago iirc. But I can not find that now.
