Windows shutdown error--possible link to REW?

When I have run a REW session on my Windows 10 desktop PC, I always get a shutdown error as shown in the screenshot below. If no REW sessions have run, there is no shutdown error. While the error does not provide a specific link to REW as the cause, I am wondering whether there is something in the current beta (5.20 beta 26) that might be causing this error. The error itself really is not a big issue--I am just curious as to whether anyone else is seeing it.

Edit: Found this event in the Windows Syslog, but it doesn't seem to add any more information. There is nothing in the REW logs.

Explorer is identified as the source of the error, difficult to see how REW could cause that. Perhaps REW (or any other application that uses a significant amount of memory when running) is revealing an underlying problem with the RAM.

I ran the Windows memory checker (mdsched.exe), and no errors were reported. I also ran the system file checker (sfc.exe), and also no errors.

I find it peculiar that this error only occurs if I have run an REW session. However, as I said, it is not a big deal and I will live with it.
