I just received KB4023057 on Windows Update. No restart needed. On 15063.877 The latest CU for 15063. January 17, 2018—KB4057144 (OS Build 15063.877) I have not seen KB4056254 yet.
For users with issues after updating the BIOS to mitigate Spectre v2. Code: ::To enable Variant 2: CVE 2017-5715 "Branch Target Injection": reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverride /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverrideMask /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f ::To disable Variant 2: CVE 2017-5715"Branch Target Injection": reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverride /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverrideMask /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f Note disabling and enabling the Variant 2 via registry setting changes will require a reboot and administrative rights.
It doesn't install anything, it should show up in the installed software list for uninstalling, but nothing gets installed, no messages, nothing.
Yep. If you didn't install a BIOS update i'd recommend to set them to original values (FeatureSettingsOverride to 0 and FeatureSettingsOverrideMask to 3). Since it seems to only set the entries, just change them manually to the defaults.
the value in FeatureSettingsOverrideMask set the mask and tell windows which bits is written in FeatureSettingsOverride so you can request to set bit 1 or 2 or both which is 3 and more
I don't have these registry entries at all, is that OK? Windows 1709 with KB4056892 & KB4058702 installed (and flash, of course).
