    Meltdown protection is off!!!


    Hello,


    i have z390 motherboard and intel 9600kf. I already checked my PC whether or not: Spectre and Meltdown vulnerability protection was enabled. And if i remember correctly both were enabled! But i reinstalled Windows since. And i opened today GRC's InSpectre utility and it says: i am not protected against Meltdown! And there is no microcode update available. That's weird. My hardware is recent, so i would expect, i would be protected already by vulnerability patch added to bios and cpu firmware. I clicked on enable in GRC's utility and restarted PC. Yet after restart it still says: i am not protected! How do i enable Meltdown protection???


    I am on latest Windows 10 Pro 64 bit 20h2...


    Thanks much!

    :)
