Because it is, sort of, I mean maybe, ummm...
Actually 0x7C microcode was an early patch and may not provide full protection. Intel didn't pull 7C like they did others because it wasn't harmful like some of their early patches. 0x84 is supposed to be better as far as Spectre and microcode stability.
Does anyone have this patch KB4056892 installed? I have not received it via Windows updates. This page comes from the X Hero FAQ page and mentions installing this patch in relation to Meltdown and Spectre:
[Motherboard] ASUS statement for Intel Microcode(Meltdown & Spectre) update | Official Support | ASUS USA
That's an old update.

Does anyone know how to disable secure boot on the Maximus X Hero? Is secure boot an issue with this board when installing Windows?
I have had no issue with secure boot on my Code X, which is basically a Hero.
On my older Hero model I could disable it by setting the OS to "other"
