I've just checked the wife's laptop and she hasn't had any error message for the past 4 days.

I noticed upon checking my Event Log Applications and my Reliability Monitor I have been getting this critical error about every 2 to 3 days now on my HP Omen i7 -16 GB Mem - Nvidia GEForce GTX 1070 on Win10 Home 64 bit and this did not start happening until I updated to v1903 on May 30^th^ . My build is 18362.239. Could someone please advise me as how to resolve this or MS deploy a fix for this. It appears I am not the only one getting these. I have reported this through the Feedback Hub. I have run all three DISMs, SFC, Malwarebytes, Norton and I turned on Windows Defender long enough for a quick scan and no problems seen. It appears this is a scheduled task that keeps failing instead of running to completion.

2019-07-17T06:12:19+00:00 Hi Daknut, are you still getting these errors??
Yes, sure am.
When I got the first, I went back and followed Don's order but no problems were encountered and, sure enough, I got the first one after I did that yesterday evening.
I've been doing more research on the .dll that's causing the fault (there are actually many in Windows but there's one specific one that faults). The driver is not maintained by Microsoft and (this is my understanding of it), different APPs write information to it which taskhostw.exe then will read at appropriate points.
The problem is that something in the driver then causes the executable file to fault and crash. And that's the problem we're getting.
I was doubtful whether solving the Defender problem was going to work but Don's machine seems to sorted itself out - I can't help but think that something to do with Apps also changed at the same time which changed some of the text in the Driver.
Anyway, I'm setting up a new computer for someone today and I have to do a 1809 to 1903 Update. I am *not* looking forward to it.

2019-07-16T22:24:08+00:00 Hello Daknut,
It is going on three days now and I have not seen another error. I thought for sure I would have gotten one by now but everything seems fine so for so I am going to give you what I did so you can follow step by step to try and resolve yours.
Just for reference I use the CMD instead of using Powershell command line and I "run it as an administrator" by right clicking on it and selecting "run as administrator". Even if SFC is normal you need to run all three DISM's as SFC does not always pick up problems and be sure and run SFC again after running DISMs. Users rely on CMD capability for interacting with all other Win32 objects and applications such as diagnose and fix various OS issues, for instance scanning for errors. This is the order of commands I use:
sfc /scannow
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealthDISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealthDISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealthThey key is to wait for each one of these to finish running as it may take some time to. The DISM Restore Health appeared stalled at 90% for me but I waited and it finally finished saying repairs can be made. If it appears stalled then do nothing as it is still running. Let it run to completion and then run sfc /scannow to do repairs.I ransfc /scannow again and it said Integrity Violations found and were repaired.I then restarted my computer reran sfc /scannow and it was clean.
I will let you know if I get another error.
Regards,Don
