Microsoft Update Health Tools App

Question

It appears MS recently added the app 'microsoft update health tools'. Guessing it exists in part for major Windows 10 upgrades from 1909 to 20h1/20h2. Is there a web page that describes this program and what it does?

Hi,

From my research, it seems to point to it being part of an update process for older version of Windows 10.

It is part of update KB4023057. The update "includes reliability improvements to Windows Update Service components in consumer Windows 10 versions", and that it "includes files and resources that address issues that affect the update processes in Windows 10 that may prevent important Windows updates from being installed".

You could refer to the details in in the following link:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4023057/update-reliability-for-windows-10-versions-1507-to-1909

The patch may help on systems that somehow cannot be upgraded to the latest version of Windows 10.

Hope above information can help you.

Thank you. Would be nice if the MS approach was 'less is more'.
