Protection against Spectre SSB can not be installed on some systems
Hi experts.
For the processor series Intel Skylake and newer, there is a patch from Microsoft for Win10 1803:
https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/search.aspx?q=4346084
(article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4346084/kb4346084-intel-microcode-updates )
Why it may be, that it can be installed on various systems, while on other, identical systems (same CPU, Board, Firmware and OS build), the installation is denied saying
The update is not suitable for your computer.
?
I am out of ideas here. Could you observe the same?

Hi.
I could verify that it is a software problem: Booting windows2go (usb based test system), I could install that patch successfully.
There is a way to force installation using dism, but I would wait with that. Other updates install, so updating is not broken. I could make sure that it is not installed, yet and if installed, you get the message "this update is already installed", when executing the .msu file.

If I had to figure this out, based on your comments, I'd contact the motherboard company.
Likely save a massive amount of time.

Security
Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection. Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

If you're seeing the problem, likely many others are seeing the same problem + your motherboard company already has some sort of solution.
Also keep in mind, depending on when update came out + motherboards shipped, update may have already been installed.
Be sure you test to see if update has already been applied, before contacting your motherboard company.
