Reading the Health Report in Windows 11

The health report screen in Windows Security will show four different options. Here’s what each option means.

Storage Capacity – This shows whether your PC is running low on storage space or disk space.

Apps and Software – This shows if any software needs an update and if it’s failing. This only applies to the Microsoft Store apps.

Battery Life – This section shows if anything is putting an extra strain on your PC’s battery.

Windows Time Service – This shows whether the Windows Time Service is running & functioning properly. Windows Time Service syncs your system clock to an internet-based time service to show you the correct time.

What if Health Report says there’s a problem?

If the health report comes back negative, you need to resolve the existing issue. For example, if your Storage Capacity has a problem, you need to delete some unused files from your system.
