How to fix error error-invalid-image-hash in Windows 11

Solution Steps

1. 1 Press Windows key + X and select 'Device Manager'. Look for devices with a yellow exclamation mark. Right-click them and select 'Update driver' → 'Search automatically'. Outdated or corrupt drivers can cause this error.
2. 2 If updating doesn't help, uninstall the driver. Right-click the device, select 'Uninstall device', and check 'Delete the driver software for this device'. Then restart your PC. Windows will reinstall the driver automatically.
3. 3 Press Windows key + R, type 'cmd', and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to open Command Prompt as admin. Type 'sfc /scannow' and press Enter. This repairs corrupted system files that might be causing the hash mismatch.
4. 4 If the error occurs with a specific app, reinstall it. Uninstall the app from Settings → Apps → Installed apps, then download the latest version from the official website and install it.
5. 5 Check if the file is blocked. Right-click the downloaded file, select 'Properties', and if there's an 'Unblock' checkbox, check it and click 'Apply'. This removes the 'downloaded from internet' flag that can cause issues.
6. 6 If the error is related to a game, disable or update the anti-cheat software. Some anti-cheat systems (like BattlEye) can trigger this error. Check the game's official forums for specific fixes.
