Microsoft's initial Windows patches would detect the presence of the updated microcode and use the additional controls if they were available. The new Windows update modifies the operating system so that it won't use the microcode's new features, even if they're detected. Microsoft has also documented registry keys that can be used to selectively enable or disable the protections, for sensitive systems or test environments. By avoiding the new microcode features, Microsoft has found that the system instability is also avoided.

The update is currently offered only as an out-of-band update that must be manually downloaded and installed, and it has no effect other than to disable the use of this particular Spectre mitigation.
