Microsoft has begun force installing the PC Health Check application on Windows 10 devices using a new KB5005463 update.

PC Health Check is a new diagnostics tool created by Microsoft and released in conjunction with Windows 11 that provides various troubleshooting and maintenance features. However, its primary use has been to analyze a device's hardware to check if it's compatible with Windows 11.
This Friday, Microsoft began rolling out the new KB5005463 update to force-install the PC Health Check application on Windows 10 devices.

Microsoft says that users who do not want PC Health Check on their system can simply uninstall it using the Settings app.

However, readers have told BleepingComputer that they have had to uninstall the application numerous times as the applications keep being reinstalled on the next check for updates. [...]
 
All of a sudden, a doctor comes to my house, starts giving me a physical.

I feel like I've been condemned.o_O

It's ironic that even though it's ineligible for 11, the four corners of the Window that notifies it are rounded like win11:LOL:
