update Windows PC health check app

The PC Health Check app, initially released to let users identify whether their PCs meet the system requirements for Windows 11, now helps you quickly check the device’s health and other related information. But how do you update the PC Health Check app?

Surprisingly, there’s no built-in option to manually check and install updates. This is all the more concerning, as Microsoft, in an official blog post, talks about periodically updating the PC Health Check app to make it more streamlined and user-friendly.

How do I update the PC Health Check app on Windows?

1. Via the PC Health Check app’s interface

  1. Press Windows + S to open Search, type PC Health Check app in the text field, and click on the relevant result.launch for pc health check update
  2. After launching the app, wait for a few seconds. You will receive a prompt if an update is available.pc health check app
  3. Confirm the update installation and let the process complete. It shouldn’t take more than a minute.

The PC Health Check app automatically identifies any pending updates and prompts you to install them. This saves both time and effort on your part!

2. Reinstall the PC Health Check app

  1. Press Windows + R to open Run, type appwiz.cpl in the text field, and hit Enter.
  2. Select Windows PC Health Check from the list of installed apps and click on Uninstall.uninstall

If PC Health Check fails to find a new version, it’s time you reinstall the app. This way, the older version gets replaced with the latest PC Health Check app. At the time of writing, the latest version is 3.9.2402.14001.

I recommend you periodically check for updates, as Microsoft is committed to the app’s development. And by not updating, you miss out on critical upgrades and enhancements!

For those concerned, the PC Health Check app is safe, as confirmed by our experts in a detailed examination.
