It could be, that you simply miss the registry settings that signalize AV software compliance. Check the presence of
--
Key="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" Subkey="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\QualityCompat" Value="cadca5fe-87d3-4b96-b7fb-a231484277cc" Type="REG_DWORD”

Data="0x00000000”

Hi,

As McKnife said, this could be your Anti virus which wouldn't have set the registry key. Which AV you are using?. It's more than a month after MS released the hotfix for the Meltdown issue. So, almost all the AV vendors updated their product which will make the compatibility with the MS patch.

 If your AV updated with the patch compatibility then you will able to see the registry key.
Which antivirus (including version) is on your servers? And is it up to date? The registry key that McKnife mentioned should've been updated by your AV software. However, he has provided what you needed in the case that you manually need to update.
