Closing this issue because I resolved it. the PC Health Check uninstaller remained in the registry. Removing that registry key got rid of this issue. Likely a problem with the PC Health Check uninstaller itself.

If anyone comes to this thread looking for exactly which registry key you need to delete, mine was located at

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{guid}

Where I assume guid is some arbitrary guid generated by my machine. It might be different for you, but it'll contain an entry of DisplayName with a value of Windows PC Health Check.
