I found an easy and convinient way for checking the status of your pc.
Windows PC
Steps:
- Go to https://github.com/vrdse/MeltdownSpectreReport
- Download or clone the repository Download link
- Unzip
- Open powershell
- Drap and drop MeltdownSpectreReport.ps1 into the powershell window
- Or go the the directory with the ps1 script and enter .\MeltdownSpectreReport.ps1
If you have a lot of False returns, as i have, the protection is not there. Be careful. A detailed explanation how to interpret the results can be found here https://github.com/vrdse/MeltdownSpectreReport.
