Event ID 19 WHEA-Logger - Hardware Error - BSOD - Meltdown Spectre

Dell Precision T1700 Workstations. 10 of them. Thousands of Event ID 19 - WHEA-Logger - A corrected hardware error has occurred. Random blue screens. They all have the new Dell Bios with the Meltdown and Spectre Mitigations microcode AND the Microsoft Mitigation Patches.

Cause: Microsoft Meltdown and Spectre Mitigations

Here is the Workaround -
First make a Windows System Restore Point.

Run this script (as administrator) to disable the Meltdown and Spectre Mitigations by Microsoft - reboot required. Save as a .bat file:

Example of a batch file - DisableMitigation.bat

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverride /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverrideMask /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f

First Determinate if you are at risk if you disable the mitigations. Opinion: The risk is very low for the vast majority of users.

Also determine if you only need to disable only one of the two mitigations:

0 = Both CVE-2017-5715 and CVE-2017-5754 enabled (WHEA Errors)
1 = CVE-2017-5754 Enabled Only (No WHEA Errors)
2 = CVE-2017-5715 Enabled Only (WHEA Errors)
3 = Both Disabled (No WHEA Errors)

Note: I have not yet tested downgrading the bios and leaving the Microsoft mitigation enabled.
