SFC Reports Corruption Issues on all 4 of my PCs (after recent update)

humbird said:

Yeah I hope they fix it before the next defender platform update. It confuses a lot of people....

I agree. It's a PITA, but unfortunately from what Microsoft has said officially, it's doesn't sound like they're in any hurry to fix what they recommend just ignoring.


"This is a known issue in Windows 10.... and Windows Defender version 4.18.1906.3 and later versions..."

System File Checker (SFC) incorrectly flags Windows Defender PowerShell module files as corrupted

At least it is getting pretty well known that Dism straightens it out.

It's been my experience and others that it's the Defender Platform updates not the CU's or the Definition updates that create this sfc /scannow hash corruption. The Defender platform version hasn't change for me in 3 weeks and currently remains at: 4.18.1907.4-0 from July 25th, that was the last time I had to fix the corruption. These Defender platform changes occur about every month. My money is on seeing the same corruption again when this gets pushed in the next week or so.

Ways to check your current Defender Antimalware Platform Version

Hope your wrong also. This seems a pretty important thing for Microsoft to fix. (Among a few other things) :)

I totally agree. The impression Im getting from what Ive read is that it wont get fixed until we get the next or even a later version...so maybe 1909 update
