siapa suruh bodoh go and update?

Just leave it as auto, if they force you update = ok... most likely stable enough
if not = dont give a fark.

-.-

.....it is stable enough. That why manufacturers had released microcode update for Sandy/Ivy bridge and Haswell based server CPU.

Did anyone encounter one thread maxed issue for Skylake/Kaby/Coffee?

Duh.....Spectre can only be fixed with software (kernel patch) and microcode together.

Good luck on waiting Microsoft to release microcode update for old hardware (even if you use windows 10).

point I am trying to make is, if it doesnt break, dont update.

Point I am trying to convey, your system security is broken/incomplete without the microcode update.

Plus I am just trying to know if this issue is common after applying spectre microcode update. hmm.gif

however, the updates for Ivy Bridge has not been rolled out yet by microsoft right ?
*
Not yet available at windows update catalog.

Beside, Microsoft already stated one must manually install Windows microcode update patch (this is not the BIOS microcode update) manually from WUC. Currently, only Skylake,kaby and coffee's microcode available for windows 10 from WUC.
