KB5005463—PC Health Check Application

The Windows 11 check is only part of the PC Health Check. It opens a dashboard with a lot of other thinks you can do. Check on "Tips on PC health" for 9 different suggestions. It does not do anything after it is closed and no processes are running.

I uninstalled the app and it is not offered it in Windows Update anymore.

PC Health check

My PC Health check suggests I install a clean version of windows. But, the warnings are

• Fresh start removes third-party antivirus software and all apps that don't come standard with Windows. This includes Microsoft apps such as Office, any desktop apps that came preinstalled on your device, and any Windows desktop apps, such
  as your device manufacturer's apps, support apps, and drivers. It keeps only Microsoft Store apps that your manufacturer installed.
• You won't be able to recover the apps that are removed. You'll need to manually reinstall them.
• You may lose your digital licenses, digital content associated with apps, or other digital entitlements for apps, which may impact your ability to use apps or app-related content that you paid for.

Can I please clarify this? Does it mean I will lose all my Microsoft office software and printer drivers? It hardly seems worth the trouble. is there a way I can just clean up my current version of windows? Many thanks.

 

PC Health Check app buggy?

The PC Health Check app reports that my PC will not run Windows 11. However, the PC satisfies (and is even well above) all the requirements - I checked them one by one. The app is not at all helpful because it fails to indicate the cause for the negative verdict.
