    What should one do when the OEM hasn't patched 2019's vulnerabilities yet?

    Hi,
    I'd imagine windows updates will address the issues eventually.

    Haven't got a firmware update since March, 2019 either through OEM or Windows Update.

    Hi,
    Kind of a catch 22 deal depending on how one feels about drivers from MS updates
    Driver updates should address this and other Intel micro code issues.

    Unfortunately intel doesn't care about it's consumers as none of my intel core 2 duo e7500 processors will ever receive a patch.

    I'll have to rely on the OS developers to produce security patches for the flawed processors intel knowingly produced and sold to consumers.

    It's sad when a company as large as intel knowingly produces a flawed product and then doesn't stand behind the flawed product.

    And I have no link to this however it was uncovered when the Meltdown / Spectre vulnerability was discovered.

    No more intel products for this user unless free.

    Yes I'm a grudge holder.

    I have a i5-8265U CPU in my HP laptop. Nothing yet from HP. I wonder how long a fix will take from HP or MS?

    I am fed up with Intel vulnerabilities every day. I should have got a Ryzen cpu.
