[QUOTE="DeepWeb, post: 759968, member: 63811"] Need more info. AMD or Intel CPU? What CPU model? What OEM? What Windows 10 build? You said you already ran InSpectre and it's protected. Then you should be good to go. (y) Think of microcode and drivers like car parts. You want the one originally designed for your hardware unless there is a critical security update or flaw. If it ain't broke don't fix it. That being said here is the latest Intel microcode update for Windows 10 April Update (1803) for Intel 6th-8th generation CPUs: [URL]https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4346084/kb4346084-intel-microcode-updates[/URL] Older generations will get their microcode update over the next weeks or months. Usually the microcode comes bundled in your manufacturer's BIOS update. You said the latest update was from March 2018 then it's 99% likely that it's up to date. [/QUOTE]
