How to Block the Download of Windows 11 Health Check App

If you're one of the many users who have been forced to download the Windows 11 Health Check app on your computer, you may be looking for a way to prevent it from reinstalling itself. According to reports, some users are unable to remove the update via the 'update history' section, as the system reportedly states that the KB5005463 update is 'not installed'. This essentially means these users have to keep uninstalling the PC Health Check app from their computers.

Fortunately, there is a way to block the download of this app on your computer. To do so, you will need to create a new entry in your Registry Editor. Here's how:

1. Open your Registry Editor by searching for it in your Start menu.

2. Click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then SOFTWARE, followed by Microsoft, and finally PCHealthCheck.

3. Create a new entry called 'installed' (without quotes) and set the value to 1.

By doing this, you will prevent the installation of the PC Health Check app on your computer in the future. However, it's worth noting that this method is not guaranteed to work for all users, as some computers may ignore this method and continue to download the app anyway.

Alternatively, you can also press Windows + S to open the Windows Search box, type 'PC health check', and click on the PC Health Check app to open it. If you don't have the app installed, you can install it by going to 'Introducing Windows 11'(https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/windows/get-help/windows-11-health-check-app) and following the prompts to download and install the app.

It's also worth noting that if a PC Health Check update is available, you can quickly install it for the latest version. However, users who have already installed the app may find that they are unable to remove the update via the 'update history' section.

Overall, while the Windows 11 Health Check app may be useful for some users, it's clear that many others are looking for ways to block its download and prevent future reinstallations. By following these steps, you can take control of your computer and prevent this app from taking up valuable space on your hard drive.
