InSpectre & Windows 11

[Michael]

Hi All,

I built a brand new computer with 13700K CPU on a Gigabyte Z790 motherboard and ran InSpectre. To my surprise, InSpectre reports that the system is NOT Meltdown protected.

I then click "Enable Meltdown Protection" twice (once does nothing), and the text changes as below.

Once I restart InSpectre, it returns to the 1st screenshot above.

Is my system inherently Meltdown protected? Is there a bug/issue with InSpectre?

Regards,
Michael.

It's likely that InSpectre needs an update. You shouldn't worry about it, as Windows has included any available mitigation now since 2019 anyway. (Although you didn't mention if you're running a modern version of Windows, I would hope on building a new PC you are.)

Thanks PHolder for the reply. Yes I am running Windows 11 Pro on latest updates. I shall ignore Spectre and Meltdown and hopefully Steve finds an opportunity to update the app sometime after his SpinRite work.
