I see ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED in the cab - may check for permissions for wv2 installation and user data folder.

Could you please provide us more details?
Do you mean the crash has happened due to permission issues? This issue happened intermittently and hence I assume it should not be related to permissions.

I see that renderer process can not be started - and the last error is permission denied. Is it happening on the same device or different devices - does it recover on the next app restart?

It happened on only one machine. Other users did not see crash but reported an issue while initializing the webview2 controller (CreateCoreWebView2Controller): Web View Controller failed to initialize error: 0x80010108
All users are running WebView2 Runtime version 117+
