Etcher can have a problem verifying the flash when running under Windows 10. If the image being flashed contains a Windows partition (the Raspberry Pi Raspbian image is an example) then as soon as the flash is completed Windows 10 will see the partition and can access it and sometimes updates the system files on that partition. This change causes the checksum verification to fail. The explanation and how to avoid it can be found here:
