• Patch Lady – late to the microcode party

    Posted on June 5, 2020 at 22:53 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    This occurred the other day on my Lenovo Laptop that I was seeing why I wasn’t getting 2004.  So I kicked a “seeking”… you know where you make it check for updates.  And it offered up to me https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4497165/kb4497165-intel-microcode-updates

    with the slightly confusing title of 2020-01 Update for Windows 10 Version 1909 for X64 based Systems (KB4497165).  So it appears to me that this only gets on machines that “seek”. If you never seek it never gets pushed.  Does that sound about right to everyone who has already seen this for months?

    I received the same experience tonight on another computer.  Once again I was seeking to see if I’d get 2004 and sure enough this January patch is offered up and installed.

    As someone joked … apparently it’s like the USA tax refunds – they are VERY much delayed by the lack of IRS employees able to work from home.
