This guide is to help you check the Hash of a single file to verify its integrity. I found it surprisingly annoying to figure this out based on all the links talking about 'generating' a hash for use in new files and everyone talking about the built in FCIV and Sha1MD5.
So how do we check a more complex Hash like SHA512?
PowerShell!
3 Steps total
Step 1: Launch PowerShell!
What Does Crc Sha Mean
Click on Start. Search for Powershell and launch it.
*replace the path with your actual file location. *replace the 'SHA512' with SHA1, SHA384, SHA512, MACTripleDES, MD5 or RIPEMD160 algorithms if desired. The '| fl' or format list is pretty important here. Without this final part the SHA512 result is cutoff half way through.
Step 3: Example
My actual goal was to check the hash on the file zilla exe I had downloaded. Filezilla has a hash on their website for you to compare against.
Simple stuff. Go check a Hash.
The basic language can be found on technet. But it was Happysysadm article that helped me organize the information. I was missing the format list(fl) option there for a while. I ran this from a windows 10 Machine (may not work on windows 78).

This is nice, another cool way is in 7-zip right click the file go to CRC then choose the hash type and it displays. I really like this powershell, think if you had to script and check a whole file structure or database!

If you have no use for the CRC SHA feature, or just prefer to use another dedicated tool to calculate CRC SHA values, you can get rid of this context menu entry. To do so, first open 7-Zip File Manager and head to Tools > Options. Under the 7-Zip tab, uncheck the box next to CRC SHA and click on the Apply button.
You can safely ignore any error dialogs that pop up. Now bring up the context menu to verify that the CRC SHA entry is gone.
