I have found the solution for the issues in my Nextclous instance. The solution comes froma topic from Akhenaton in July 2016 ([Failed integrity check after manual upgrade - #6 by Akhenaton](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/failed-integrity-check-after-manual-upgrade/1382/6))

1. Add the folling line in the /config/config.php file:  
 → ‘integrity.check.disabled’ =\> true,
2. Now reload the page ‘Security & setup warnings’
3. When you see the yellow banner click on rescan
4. Log-out
5. Log back in as admin you will not the integrity failure anymore
6. Now delete the line that you put in your /config/config.php file to re-enable the integrity check

This did work for me. And I hope someone finds use in the topic…  
Regards and stay safe.
