€¢ GRC’s InSpectre utility returned a CPU ID in the same format used by Microsoft — HWInfo64 prepended leading zeroes to it — as well as the current microcode revision (which I didn’t spot anywhere else, though I may have been careless). €¢ HWInfo64 doesn’t provide all of it either, and you have to hunt down and identify the bits that *are* provided. €¢ CPU-Z doesn’t seem to provide much the info needed.

€¢ Once I had the CPU’s full name (easily found in Settings>System), Intel’s page at provided a “Device ID” that didn’t match the format used in the table. €¢ Windows’ built-in GUI features (Settings>System>About and Device Manager>Processors) don’t seem to provide the requisite information.

I am officially bitching about how hard it is to use the tables provided in Microsoft’s microcode update pages to determine whether the update is applicable to a given system.

Now You: do you install the microcode updates directly or wait for them to become available via Windows Update? (via Deskmodder) The system needs to be restarted to complete the process. All that is left to do after the download completes is to execute the downloaded file to install the update on the system. The msu files have a size between 2 and 3 Megabytes. The site opens a popup window with the download link. Windows 10 version 20H2 with a 64-bit architecture, and the download button next to it afterwards. Identify the right Windows 10 version and edition on the Microsoft Update Catalog website, e.g. The Microsoft Update Catalog links are listed below: 10th Generation Intel® Core™ Processor Family.Intel CPU products mentioned on the support page of the latest update:
Here are the links to the Knowledgebase articles: It may take a while before these are made available administrators may download updates from the Microsoft Update Catalog already to install them manually on systems. Microsoft will release the updated microcode patches for the listed Windows 10 versions via Windows Updates eventually. The company lists supported processors on the support pages. Important: Microsoft recommends that users/administrators verify that a particular update is designed for system hardware, in this case the processor, before installing it. Windows updates come with patches for Intel, mcupdate_GenuineIntel.dll, and AMD processors, mcupdate_AuthenticAMD.dll. The updates address flaws or issues in processors, and are loaded when the system is started. Microcode updates come in two forms: as firmware updates or as updates for the operating system. The microcode updates for all other Windows 10 versions have not been updated and remain on the November 2020 state.
