It´s an OS problem, not a browser problem. Just make sure your computer and security is updated.

Dan Posted January 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Yes thanks -- well, the reality is, as numerous articles are explaining, that browsers are putting out updated versions as part of efforts to counter this....see https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/04/technology/meltdown-spectre-questions.html?partner=IFTTT&_r=0 One can't imagine that hundreds of millions of PCs and Macs and others will or can be replaced without huge costs to consumers and companies. Also -- while articles have spoken of updates by OS's -- I have yet to see the update they discuss from Microsoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Updates sometimes take longer to populate to various zones. And they don't generally release them worldwide at once. And there's a number of other factors in this case that can stop the update from showing up, most notably AV programs that cause a crash if the fix is installed. Give it a day or so and it'll come through. 3 hours ago, PHYR said: Donna said no, not this week. 1/ that was about a new Insider release, nothing at all related to the CPU kernel issue, 2/ insider releases have apparently had the fix since about late november.

This does not explain why my install history is not showing up except from the recovery options, maybe something M$ is looking into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No.1MaxthonFan Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 I got a new PC and have not installed any Insider versions yet because half of my Office 365 did not work and they didn't seem to care about finding a solution.
