Microsoft Update Health Tools it looks to be released with update KB4023057, a mandatory update for all versions of the operating system.
It is being re-released by Microsoft, especially when a device is nearing the end of its support period or a major feature update is coming.
In the last week of February, Microsoft resumed launching KB4023057 and reported that it included "reliability improvements to Windows Update Service components."
KB4023057 was first released for the April 2018 Update (1803) and added improvements to the reliability of Windows Update. The update has since been released several times with support for all new versions of the operating system.
Microsoft confirmed now that KB4023057 is available for Windows 10 version 20H2, version 2004 and of course for all older versions. It's supposed to remove any upgrade blocks, modify the registry, change the network and Windows Update settings to enforce feature updates.
Interestingly, some users have noticed that update KB4023057 also contains a new DLL file, which is for "Microsoft Update Health Tools".
