Regenerati0n Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) Since motherboard manufacturers refuse to release BIOS/UEFI updates to "legacy products", I've come up with a global workaround to the microcode problem. Introducing the Intel Microcode Boot Loader, based on Intel's BIOS Implementation Test Suite (BITS). Users no longer need to modify BIOS/UEFI ROMs to inject the latest microcode to stay protected from security vulnerabilities (like Spectre), bugs and erratas. However, this solution requires a permanently plugged USB flash drive with at least 25MB and BIOS/UEFI supporting boot from USB devices.Instructions: 1. Format a USB flash drive with FAT32 filesystem. 2. Extract the archive to the USB flash drive. 3. Run install.exe from the USB flash drive. 4. Enter the BIOS/UEFI and assign the USB flash drive as the 1st boot device. 5. The microcode will load automatically before the OS.Notes: * The archive includes the latest ucodes for 392 Intel CPUs from 1996 to 2018. * The ucodes are stored in the \boot\mcudb folder if you wish to update in the future. * If you get 'Ucode not found' warning during installation, or plan to deploy on another PC, look for the correct ucode (by CPUID) in \boot\mcudb and copy it to \boot\mcu.Downloads:Intel Microcode Boot Loader | Mirror Edited October 24, 2018 by regenerati0n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
