    you were having a bad day Indi *Smile 00075 (July) and 00086 (Nov) are both for the ME Firmware Bug , not the Meltdown or Spectre Bugs.

    00088 is the Meltdown issue

    you can also try this one I found on Technet it does need the .Net framework installed :

    HP has issued BIOS update with new microcode for Sandy Bridge devices. This was for ProBook, so it might be only for so-called "professional" machines. Nothing yet from Dell for Ivy Bridge "home" machines.

    I got an e-mail from HP last night (Critical Alert) telling me that the patch for my 5 years old laptop is ready. I updated the bios and all is working perfect. But to be honest I am a little skeptical and maybe even regret patching it. I wonder if as a private user who browses few sites and do some gaming it was worth the performance loss. The intel mess up downgraded these older computers and pushed them back as if they were another year or 2 years older.

    My PC seems to be protected, and that is with the ASUS 1003 BIOS from 2. January *Smile

    Protect your Windows devices against Spectre and Meltdown

    Hi,

    Micro code updates are still in beta testing for a large number of cpu's.
    There's good chance that once Intel gives MS the green light these updates will come in the form of a KB just as they have done for most of the Skylake cpu's.
    The older the cpu the more likely this scenario is going to be as OEMs can no longer be bothered to update these BIOS's etc.

    Cheers, *Wink
