HP PC Hardware Diagnostics Windows runs and appears to work but it causes the following error in the

Event Viewer.  Happens when I run it from the start menu or run it in HP Support Assistant.

I have uninstalled and re-installed it from HP and it still generates error messages. Also installed the version from the Microsoft Store but still getting error. Probably just another Windows false alarm.  Does this happen to anyone else? Does it matter?

My computer is running and I don't have any known problems.  I was just exploring tools and discovered this.
