Overwhelming desire to run this wusa /uninstall /KB:4592438 should I?

No need. This is just as overblown a reaction. First of all there's no reason to ever run chkdsk/f in the first place if there are no problems with your SSD. Secondly, just never use chkdsk /f - chkdsk /scan is faster, requires no restart and no further action is needed if no problems were found. Problems can be fixed using chkdsk /spotfix otherwise, which doesn't cause any problems.

  You wonder why this is not the default behaviour and/or what /f should do.

    Yeah - IMO MS should've deprecated the /f-option years ago and emulate it like that. But that's what you get from disbanding most of your QA-team I guess...

  But if you ask "how to fix problems in Windows" you're likely to end up reading a guide[1] [2] [3] [4] that suggests "run chkdsk /f". Why? Because the diagnostic tools available to most users are so poor that shotgun debugging is the only option. And /spotfix is too new to have made a dent in 30 years of being told that's the way you do it. (This is the first time I've heard of that option.) The internet is very bad at forgetting.

I've never run chkdsk /f on Windows 10 or really even since Windows 8 came out TBH. So many people are claiming they loved Windows 7 so much, but the irony is Windows 7 was the last Windows OS where chkdsk /f was actually needed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosy_retrospection https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosy_retrospection
