    I dont know what to do but from what i've read the Meltdown should say yes if I've updated everything which i have. I'm running the latest UEFI and I've updated any firmware updates. Could someone help me. I've googled myself silly here to no avail.

    Does the Microcode Update Available: NO! mean I'm not able to be protected by Meltdown?

    :)

    Can Spectre, Meltdown etc mitigations be bypassed?

    If you click the 'Enable Meltdown Protection' button (which is a 'Disable Meltdown Protection' button when it's enabled) you must be running InSpectre with Admin privileges and reboot to switch it on or off.
