Thank you for great answers. From i understand, If i don't want performance drops; I should apply those 2 reg entries. and i can update my windows via windows update I should use older chipset setups and gpu drivers from 2017 or right before bug fixed ones (maybe i can find out from changelogs) + i should not update my bios if there is an update about bug fixes. Note: it seems gpu's are not affected to those bugs. so only cpu chipset driver and bios update is problem to update. and i won't. + there is no point of buying new hardware since they all have bugs. i need new architectured ones. probably in 2020... Hopefully they will solve performance drops in the future so i can continue to update my workstations. thanks all..
it is not about brand, or windows version. It is about intel cpu. yes you are. 2 choices update and be safe. but your performance will drop. or do not update. be unsafe but you can use your computer with your max performance. and i don't see the point if you don't even know what is meldown or spectre why do you even care. clearly you are not into these stuff. just update your pc lose performance keep your life going
i will wait for 2 more years. at 2020 the arhitecture will be changed and is going to be stable. then i will change my cpu and gpu. from now on no updates to cpu. if intel cant solve performance drops. thanks all for answers.
Sorry but I don't see any links with 2016 LSTB in it. Can you be more specific on links that covers both Spectre and Meltdown? Btw, does these updates make any changes to any privacy changes made in Windows 2016 LTSB?
LTSB 2016 is 14393 (1607) so all updates for the latter apply to former . Privacy settings are untouched here. EDIT: The Update (CU) addresses Meltdown mostly, Spectre is more dangerous and needs BIOS updates and additionally changes for drivers and Browsers.
OK. Is there more fixes available for download than the Flash Player updates in your second link? Are Flash Player updates really important and needed if you don't use flash player?
