So actually, I tried some things and seemingly resolved the issue.
First, I attempted to update the BIOS. I noticed my BIOS version was fairly old (early 2023) and the HP diagnostics tool on my machine said there was an update available. But, it kept failing to update the BIOS via the HP diagnostics tool. So I went to the HP website and found/downloaded the latest BIOS updater file dated May 2024. I installed that and then re-ran the diagnostics tool. Now it is no longer reporting an error with the Desk Read Verify.
