Checksum for original files came out unreadable

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
Are you saying it fails to make a checksum at all? What program? Try this one: https://github.com/gurnec/HashCheck/releases/tag/v2.4.0
I am on using hashcheck lol. It works. But when checking, it comes out as unreadable.
Why are you using third party tools for this?
An "unreadable" result sounds like a failure from HashCheck - What does your OS Native tools give you?
