Windows 10: Cumulative Update KB4056892 Windows 10 v1709 Build 16299.192

Doesn't help me with a Z87.

and BTW, id you are running AISuite then you probably run Realbench. You will be in for a nasty surprise there.

Can't control my fans, perforance is sluggish, this is really F'd up.

 

I got it at about 10 pm EST...
just happened to check my updater manually and it just popped in...*Wink

 

I've manually updated without any issue. *Biggrin

 

Updated

 

All installed ok. It came through windows update for both my machines. I wonder (hope!) if this is part of next weeks patch Tuesday brought forward and we won’t be getting another cumulative update then.

cannot detect any performance impact due to the kernel patch but I wonder if that will manifest itself in lower 3D mark benchmark scores such as the fire strike test

 

Intel's statement is standard PR bullshit for damage control. Other cloud vendors like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft take this issue seriously and already updated their affected system. RedHat urges their customers to update immediately.

If you read Intel's statement, they mentioned that these exploits do not have the potential to corrupt, modify, or delete data. Well, the exploits are never about data corruption dugh, they are security problems.
There's proof-of-concept of how JavaScript code run in the Google Chrome browser, allows it to read private memory, which means it can leak victim's confidential info like password, etc.

Unfortunately KB4056892 kills ASUS AISuite II tested on 5 ASUS AMD based Desktops.
After update ASUS control utilities and AISuite crashes and are not useable.
Tested uninstall of update allowed ASUS software to return to operating without issue.

 

It's not here for me yet. I checked WU twice. I have an i7 5960-X

 

This forum does not tolerate such posts as above. It is just offensive.
@Brink - please be aware of this post.

 

Strange. My Release Preview VM got the update but it has not been offered on the host.*Confused I'm not going to push it.

 

Guys, don't use any ASUS AISuite!

 

Yeah, people should avoid Asus Alsuite as the plague.. Its the worst software i ever had installed on my system. It wrecks the entire installation and i had a hard time removing it and undo the changes it made.

anyway, i haven't received the update yet, i think i wait until its downloaded automatically via update center.

 

Hi guys,

As someone who's just postponed an order for a new i7 8700k over the Meltdown/Spectre shit storm, could anyone please provide me with some benchmarks on the performance hit this patch allegedly introduces?

I have been searching for this info all morning *Confused

 

Nothing showing here even after a manual update check.

I've benchmarked a very CPU intense application I use for reference by timing it running to completion during a couple of different tasks. Be interesting to compare. I'll also do a before and after winsat test, although I don't know if that will show any differences or not.

 

the same for me (Italy, 11:34 AM)
