    Don't install windows 10 on a Asus et2701i all in one computer. or maybe all computer with install errors, roll backs

    This is getting far above my "pay grade". Unknown (to me) whether (SA-00075) is the same as the "Meltdown" and "Spectre" vulnerabilities. Note the date is 9/12/2017, which is earlier that all the talk about "Meltdown" and "Spectre". I had previously found
    a test for "SA-00086" dated 26-Dec-2017, which was also negative. Is that for "Meltdown" and "Spectre" ?

    Installing Update for Windows (KB4078130)

    Looks like there is some misunderstanding.

    KB4078130 is for disabling the patches for Meltdown and Spectre as they are causing Reboots on several Intel-based systems.

    So as per Intel advisory, Microsoft has released an update that disables Meltdown and Spectre fix.
