I'm reading all new comments so don't hesitate to post a question about the file. If I don't have the answer perhaps another user can help you.
Windows Defender almost daily tells me that aswHdsKe needs review and take action to permit or not. I do have Avast anti-virus software so after a bit of research I've determined that this is legit and so allow it privileges. But why does it come up so frequently? Almost every day? It's getting a bit annoying.
