Vulnerability in CPU Microcode Could Allow Information Disclosure
Microsoft is aware of a new publicly disclosed class of vulnerabilities referred to as “speculative execution side-channel attacks” that affect many modern processors and operating systems including Intel, AMD, and ARM. Note: this issue will affect other systems such as Android, Chrome, iOS, MacOS, so we advise customers to seek out guidance from those vendors.
Microsoft has not received any information to indicate that these vulnerabilities have been used to attack customers at this time.

you won’t get any patches installed unless and until your antivirus software sets a specific registry key. If you’re running third party antivirus, it has to be updated before the Meltdown patch installer will run. It looks like there are known problems with bluescreens for some AV products.

Read the whole article esp if you are running Windows servers.
Note that the Windows Server patches are NOT enabled by default. Those of you who want to turn on Meltdown protection have to change the registry.
