1449053 2018-05-03 01:37:00 Holly crap . No Spectre patch for 1803
www.ghacks.net

"No microcode update to protect the system against Spectre attacks. Microsoft released updates only for Windows 10 version 1709 and earlier and has not incorporated the updates into Windows 10 version 1803. If you installed the update on the PC in an earlier version and ran the update afterward, you will notice that the PC is no longer protected. Tip: run InSpectre to verify."

That's more than Likely (and only my opinion) That Intel haven't supplied patches yet for the New OS. Intel was warning people and companies / Manufactures NOT to install the Patches as it was causing a LOT of unwanted reboots.

Spectre is Hardware based (CPU) while meltdown is still covered, just ran the test and the CPU was the only problem. So until Intel get their act together it would be a huge problem if MS put out a knowing patch that will cause problem ( that would go down really well ) ;)

1449054 2018-05-03 06:01:00 anyone having issues with Chrome freezing

after running 24hours without an issue, had some random freezing this afternoon .
Chrome was open & downloading software etc, but cant say for sure chrome caused it . OS freeze not hardware freeze (as caps lock light still turned on/off ok)
very frustrating , as have to wipe & reload older Win10 version or even go back to 7 .

1449057 2018-05-03 09:11:00 Excuses, excuses, always someone else's fault. :lol: :rolleyes: Look it up, it IS Intel's, AMD problem. And guess what it can happen on ALL OS's including LINUX. Its NOT OS related. Oh wait -- your PC runs on crap- guess that's not effected.

The CPU manufactures supply patches to MS which caused shutdowns and all other sorts of problems. Cant really see BIOS flashes being forced out over the internet.


The Spectre flaw affected nearly every modern computing device, including those with chips from Intel, Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD.O) and ARM Holdings.



Guess you're not smart enough to figure out the difference between a hardware or software problem.

very frustrating , as have to wipe & reload older Win10 version or even go back to 7 . The current train of fixing is in Chrome disable hardware Acceleration , Settings / Advanced / Scroll down to System Switch off "Use hardware acceleration when available" ( its on by default)

MS are working on a fix . Its not just chrome, some other apps also cause the freezing , eg Hey Cortana
fix due in the next update, 8May.
answers.microsoft.com

Its quite intermittent. Chrome is the 1st thing I install on 10 (I hate edge) , & use chrome to download the other software etc.
Freezing maybee once every 45minutes on the new PC , the new laptop doesnt seem to have this issue (yet)

I guess MS are so wrapped up in Edge, they never are allowed to put Chrome on their test PC's
But Cortana causing they same issue...... obviously no real descent testing of this major update.
BM was right all along (only kidding)

These 6 monthly major build updates issues are doing real harm to MS's reputation.

Only had two freeze ups, and that was during beta Builds, it wasn't the OS, I know what the problem is just cant be bothered fixing it :) Its a fault on the VERY OLD hard Drive, when it gets to hot it plays silly buggers.

1449062 2018-05-03 23:29:00 God help us.
This hanging issue was known & reported 4 weeks before the general release
Insiders have been reporting the issue . MS ignored .
