Next surprises from Microsoft

The vulnerability of the processors puzzled both users and software developers who undertook to guarantee security for customers. As previously reported, vulnerabilities Meltdown and Specter provide attackers with access to personal information of a user through the hardware of a computer.

Next surprises from Microsoft

Having undertaken to fix vulnerabilities in Windows operating systems, Microsoft, without examining the problem and without testing, launched a software update. Later it turned out that the patch assembled on the knees slows down the operation of processors based on the intel chip. And we are talking about 30% decrease in performance, which is visible on working platforms.

Owners of personal computers based on AMD, Microsoft was even more surprised. After installing the KB4056892 update and rebooting, the user can only peer at the Windows logo, which loads after the BIOS. The company’s press officer reassured PC owners that the problem of freezing the operating system affects only Athlon and Sempron processors.

According to rumors, the head of Intel knew about the problem. Perhaps that is why the owner and sold last year shares of the Intel brand. It remains to rely on software developers who do not escape from a sinking ship, but come together and help fix the problem.
