You probably didn't go to the appropriate Microsoft knowledgebase page to MANUALLY install the microcode update, or simply it was yet to be released to support your cpu. Just run inspectre v8 from steve Gibson and you should find out if you are mitigated. As far as I know, the motherboard is irrelevant to this, unless it has a patch that updates the microcode prior to windows loading. If no bios updates exist, I should think that specific page for your version of windows 10 should update the cpu and mitigate it fine. Head over to tenforums , windows news, and you should have links to patches for 1607, 1703, 1709, 1803
Did all that prior to posting.
Same CPU is patched on ASUS 270 series mobo but not MSI 270 series mobo.
Meltdown patched on MSI mobo but not Spectre. Both are patched on ASUS 270 mobo.
Both mobo's are running the latest up to date Windows 10.
This is definitely a bios related issue and MSI aren't playing ball.
