    Are you guys running as admin?

    It will want to install nuget first if you don't have it installed yet(like if you are a Chocolatey user).
    I got these commends to work by letting PowerShell install nuget and enabling PowerShell scripts (under Settings / Developer Options).

    Installed the latest update of Windows and this is how it looks for me, apparently it is for many users like this and means the Spectre bug hasn't been completely patched with a BIOS update. I flashed the latest BIOS version yesterday to patch a previous security problem.

    Yesterday I received both the Cumulative update, and a BIOS update.
    But the BIOS update made no mention about these two problems, or the ME(in BIOS, not the driver inside of Windows) problem. But the SA 00086 tool say's I'm good to go too.
    So ASUS is on the ball(with the new Z370 boards at least)

    Many OEM's have only the ME bug patch dated pre 12/2017... maybe they are still testing new patches?

    For a laugh, here are the results of my scan on my eVGA X58-based mobo with a Core i7 965 EE (full specs in my profile):

    I included the full screenshot to show others what exactly I did from the point of opening PowerShell as Admin from the Start context menu.

    Unfortunately, with this hardware being as old as it is, I doubt I will receive any sort of BIOS update for it - the last was almost 7 years ago now.

    If this is so serious and Microsoft and Intel were informed in June or July..Why so long to even attempt to fix this?

    I would guess: because this is something that Intel, their board partners(the OEMs), and the myriad operating system developers, HAVE to get right the first time around.

    The above PowerShell com mands don't work for me running the latest version of W10 Pro. What do users need to do to run these commands?
    In Windows 17046 I start Powershell as Administrator. I check policyexecution status. Then I run Install-Module SpeculationControl. I get this:

    What am I doing wrong?

    EDIT: Works okay in 16299.192.
