BSODs after latest firmware update for Spectre/Meltdown

[dicks]

Since the latest firmware update for Surface 3 PRO I am experiencing BSODs (green ones as I am Release Preview on FU). about 1-2x per day.

The stop codes are different each time, as well as the driver which initiated it.

I am guessing it is a faulty Spectre/Meltdown update, where Intel already is starting to not recommend to install any BIOS/UEFI updates..... Too bad though, Windows Update already did that.

Anyone else out there with this issue? Any "workaround"?

At this point - it's a waiting game for the fix to be deployed - Intel pulls Spectre and Meltdown CPU Patches

Time to try disabling SPECTRE patch: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...-disable-mitigation-against-spectre-variant-2

Update: This patch fixed the BSODs I had when resuming from energy savings mode.
