Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file Error FIX

"Windows cannot access the specified file or device path. Inappropriate permission error"

The error message, "Windows cannot access the device path or file specified," is a very common one. Many Windows 10/8/7 users get the error when they try to install, update or start a program or open a file, for example Word file, PDF file.

You may receive the exact error while trying to start a program or open a file on your Windows computer. Apparently simply getting the required permission doesn't resolve the error effectively, which is why so many people post the same question and ask Microsoft support and some mainstream forums for more help.

So what are the possible reasons why Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file normally? Why don't you currently have permission to access the folder? What sensible suggestions should I follow to make sure I don't necessarily lose programs and files?
