With Intel’s fix for Spectre variant 2 only making matters worse, Microsoft had to release an out-of-band patch to disable what the chip maker has done. This patch is for Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 users. It’s said to stop the rebooting issues caused by Intel’s fix. If you’re experiencing these issues, you’ll need to download the update as it doesn’t automatically install yet.
