STATUS_APP_DATA_CORRUPT
Fast Cache metadata failed validation
Windows returns STATUS_APP_DATA_CORRUPT from application packaging, registration, cache, or activation handling. The cache entry was found but could not be trusted structurally or semantically. This is different from a simple cache miss and warrants preserving the failing record for diagnosis.
Correlate the failure with disk, profile, update and package events; let the owning Windows component rebuild the cache instead of editing opaque cache files.
If the problem recurs after the owning component rebuilds the cache, preserve the original cache file and correlate its creation time with storage or deployment events. Repeated corruption points to an upstream writer or storage problem.
