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?
Did you click the "Enable Meltdown Protection" button (at bottom left of your first screenshot)?
yes I did. it didnt do anything. Also I wanted to say that I do have this enabled.
To fully protect against Meltdown and Spectre, you’ll need to install a UEFI or BIOS update from your PC’s manufacturer as well as the various software patches. These UEFI updates contain new Intel or AMD processor microcode that adds additional protection against these attacks. Unfortunately, they aren’t distributed via Windows Update—unless you’re using a Microsoft Surface device—so they must be downloaded from your manufacturer’s website and installed manually.
If “Windows OS support for branch target injection mitigation is present” is false, that means your PC hasn’t yet installed the operating system update that protects against these attacks.
Install all important Windows updates, if no updates are found, your antivirus software may be causing the problem, as Windows won’t install it if your antivirus software isn’t yet compatible. Contact your antivirus software provider and ask for more information about when their software will be compatible with the Meltdown and Spectre patch in Windows. This spreadsheet shows which antivirus software has been updated for compatibility with the patch.
You also need to install latest versions of your web browsers. If you use Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer, the patch is included in the Windows Update. For Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, you’ll need to ensure you have the latest version—these browsers automatically update themselves unless you’ve gone out of your way to change that, so most users won’t have to do much.
Patches are now available to protect against Meltdown and Spectre on a wide variety of devices.
ok i'll have to work with my motherboard manufacturer. When I went to their site the only update they had was for Intel Management and of course I did install it .... successfully. Thanks for finding that out.
Same issue here, I see you have an Intel 10th gen CPU the same as me (i5-10600 in my case). I found your thread when googling for a solution.
Maybe the inspectre program doesn't work correctly with Comet Lake? I see the last update to the software was in 2019. My board is an MSI Z490-A Pro. Windows is up to date. I'm going to assume? we can ignore this but if anyone knows better, I'm all ears.
