Microsoft silently installing PC Health Check app on Windows 10 PCs

Microsoft Windows 11 is now rolling out and it is upgrading all eligible computers to the latest version of the company’s Windows operating system. In order to perform the upgrade, Microsoft had previously introduced a revamped version of its PC Health Check app. Now, it is being reported that Microsoft is silently installing the app on Windows 10 computers and that it gets automatically reinstalled even after a user deletes it from the PC. Some users have been complaining that they are unable to uninstall the app at all.

According to a report by BleepingComputer, the PC Health Check app, a diagnostics tool from Microsoft, which offers the ability to quickly diagnose and troubleshoot issues with a PC, as well as verify if the hardware is compatible with Windows 11, is being ‘force installed’ on Windows 10 devices as part of the October KB5005463 update that started rolling out last Friday.
