Microsoft's health app still checks the system requirements for Windows 11, which include a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 included and enabled, a graphics card compatible with DirectX 12 or later, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, WDDM 2.0 driver, and UEFI secure boot enabled.
The key features in the Health Check app include viewing the battery capacity, back up and sync, windows update, storage capacity, and managing start-up programs. Additionally, the app provides additional tips to improve overall PC health and performance. Interestingly, PC Health Check users will not be able to turn off automatic updates.
Microsoft recently relaunched the PC Health Check app for everyone as the app was not matching up with the latest Windows 11 updates and requirements. Reports claimed that the app was not giving enough information to people as to why their devices are not compatible with Windows 11.
