Not recommended to use win32_Product query.

The recommended detection method relies on a discouraged method Win32_product.

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object {$_.Name -match "Microsoft Update Health Tools"}

As documented in this article Win32_Product should not be used for application detection. Can the recommended detection method be updated. I'm currently using the existence of the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Update Health Tools\expediteupdater.exe" exists as valid installation detection.

@endersstory Thanks for raising this as an issue. I've checked with our developers and we've a pending update for content that will provide a method that doesn’t rely on the Win32_Product. While the current method can be used, it is a bit cranky and isn’t ideal. The new method will replace the current details in the published content later this afternoon, and appears as follows

 $Session = New-Object -ComObject Microsoft.Update.Session
 $Searcher = $Session.CreateUpdateSearcher()
 $historyCount = $Searcher.GetTotalHistoryCount()
 $list = $Searcher.QueryHistory(0, $historyCount) | Select-Object -Property "Title"
 foreach ($update in $list)
 {
   if ($update.Title.Contains("4023057"))
   {
      return 1
   }
 }
 return 0 

If the script returns a 1, the device has UHS client. If the script returns a 0, the device doesn’t have UHS client.
