    Hi,

    Microsoft has been aware of the recently discovered security vulnerability that impacts chips from several different manufacturers. Many devices and applications will be affected by this flaw, including any operating systems such as Windows that run
    on the affected chips.

    Superfetch and Prefetch have nothing to do with the meltdown. It is your personal decision if you want to disable it or not.
