Update! Solved the issue following all instructions here:

Does not allow me to paste the link in here!
I suggest making a sticky in this forum/channel as well, as I did use the forum's search function, but couldn't find this.
Only GPT-4 directed me to the link above independently.

GM,
I wanted to get back to playing Stellaris with the Update around the corner, and get the remaining DLCs as well.
However: Stellaris does not launch properly anymore. It prompts me 2 Error Messages, and the EULA, - each time I launch through Steam.
Error Message 1:
"Access Error to Game Data :warning:
We don't have read/write access to the directory with game data. Please contact support".
Error Message 2:
"Launcher doesn't have permissions to access G:\OneDrive\Johann Dokumente\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\dlc_load.json. Some functionalities related to DLC's and mods may not work properly. Please try changing permissions and restart the launcher."
I use Win11 Pro and Windows Defender. I have a few other games, they all work normally.
Paths:
Game: E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Stellaris\
Launcher: C:\Users\Johann\AppData\Local\Programs\Paradox Interactive\launcher\launcher-v2.2023.11\
Documents: G:\OneDrive\Johann Dokumente\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\
My attempts to a solution so far:
Uninstalled all mods, uninstalled Stellaris. Deleted leftovers by hand. Reinstalled Stellaris cleanly.
In W Defender, added exception to files: bootstrapper-v2.exe, Paradox Launcher.exe, Stellaris.exe, dowser.exe
In W Defender, added exception to folders: "E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Stellaris" and "G:\OneDrive\Johann Dokumente\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris"
Please let me know what I can do, and if you need additional information.
Thank you in advance,
JC
