As noted in the article, PC Health Check's "primary use has been to analyze a device's hardware to check if it's compatible with Windows 11." A wide range of Windows 10 users will see this check permanently and uselessly 'failing' for them whenever they open Windows Update.

Given that Windows 10 is end of life in 3 years, it's not exactly useless.

This tool that is being installed is used to check upgrade compatibility
