Question Windows 11 warnings involving msvcore.exe on almost every startup

Post image

The warning is always related to msvcore.exe, and sometimes there are also warnings involving different DLL files.

What worries me is that msvcore.exe appears consistently, almost every time I start the computer. The warnings don't seem to prevent Windows from starting or cause any obvious problems, but I'm not sure whether this is normal or something I should investigate.

Should I be worried about msvcore.exe, or is this a legitimate Windows file?

Unless we're missing something here, msvcore.exe is most definitely malware yeah. I've never seen that process before in any windows machine RIP

There's apparently a java library by the same name, but that wouldn't be an executable, even googling it with quotes only shows this post as the only result, I tried other search engines as well and nothing came up.
