    Rough guestimating since I deleted the earlier benchmarks on my Win 8.1 laptop with an older i5 3210m I had a little under a 1% decrease in the multi-thread performance and a little over a 1% decrease in single-thread performance. Pretty much in the margin of error ?

    Thing is, it actually "feels" faster but that could possibly be from the other updates I installed at the same time ?

    Windows Update Intel Patches for Meltdown & Spectre

    URGENT - Please Microsoft:

    1. Provide a List of Windows Updates that included the (bad) Intel Patches for Meltdown & Spectre (which Intel now say should NOT be installed).

    2. Advise IF (and HOW) the Windows Updates that included (bad) Intel Patches for Meltdown & Spectre should be 'removed' by End Users?

    3. If Microsoft Identifies (to it's Community) Windows Updates that included (bad) Intel Patches, can Users remove them - while still getting any other 'fixes' (that did NOT relate to Meltdown & Spectre) included in the Same Windows Updates that contained
    the (bad) Patches for Meltdown & Spectre?

    4. How do Users ensure that ant Windows Updates they remove - to 'eject' the (bad) Intel Patch for Meltdown & Spectre - are not 'automatically' re-installed' later - by Automatic Windows Updates, when Windows notices the 'removed updates' are not installed?

    Note: I've looked at the Microsoft.com Descriptions of Numerous Recent Windows Updates and (although some refer to 'security') none seem to specifically mention Intel, Meltdown or Spectre - so I can't determine which Windows Updates included the 'bad' Intel
    Patches.
