Windows 10: Kb4090007

Hello,
While looking for new updates in the updates catalog, I found this KB4090007 V5 dated 13 April.
More then a month ago I installed KB4090007 V4. Do I have to install this V5 ?
Answers will be appreciated.
Thanks

Thank you for the reply and suggestion.

Yes, the catalog is where I am trying to download it from. I have an Ivy Bridge processor, i7-3632QM (its status is not listed on the Intel site's production schedule for Spectre patches).

I get the processor ID from the "View basic information about your computer" page on the Control Panel > System and Security > System page for Windows 10 page.

I am running the 64 bit Windows Pro, Fall Creators edition: Version 1709, OS Build 16299.309.

My last installed update was on 3/24/2018, KKB4088785. The Installed History includes each monthly patch Tuesday update as well as other updates such as for Adobe Flash Player.

KB4090007 is the update which includes protection against Spectre and the other Intel flaw which name is currently escaping me.

Any other suggestions?

KB4090007 Intel Microcode Updates for Windows 10 v1709 - August 21


Hi all, Just read through this thread several times and find myself to be very confused (not unusual)

My main PC has an Asus Z87-A Motherboard with the Haswell chip set (Intel i5)

The list of processors that KB4090007 covers does NOT include this chipset. Further,in post id #7 @Brink says
"If you don't have the CPUs listed in the KB4090007 article above, then you don't need the update."

As I understand it, @Brink, in post id #11, you advocate leaving it installed if one has already installed it. (Idid, but then UNinstalled it)

Fair enough, but then in post id #19 @fdegrove suggests NOT leaving KB4090007 installed as in this case ".....it then would load a cpu micro code that does not correspond with the cpu you're running which could lead to BSODs eventually".

So, am I correct in thinking that KB4090007 is irrelevant to Haswell chipsets?
Does anyone know whether there is an update for the Haswell?

FYI - this is my result from the Spectre & Meltdown Vulnerability checker Ver 8.0 WITHOUT KB4090007 installed.which says there IS a microcode update available!

HELP, please!*cry
