Every day at 10 am I would get this error in the event log:
The ScRegSetValueExW call failed for FailureCommand with the following error: Access is denied.
I tracked what was causing this error and it is caused by Windows Defender Verification scheduled task.

Is this an error I can ignore?
Should I disable this scheduled task?
Is there a solution to correct this error?
