Windows Defender & Event ID 5038
Anyone else seeing this or know what the issue might be?
I've noticed lately, on my HP Envy laptop (see specs) ... every time Windows Defender Updates, I get two Event Id 5038 errors.
Code integrity determined that the image hash of a file is not valid. The file could be corrupt due to unauthorized modification or the invalid hash could indicate a potential disk device error.
