    How to find out which Spectre &Meltdown updates are locally installed?


    Assume I updated oocasionally my Win 7 system.

    How can I find out which of the many Win 7 Spectre, Meltdown and Spectre NG updates are currently locally installed?

    Hi pstein,

    One option is to produce a text file that you could print out or use to copy/paste the updates into a browser to check for the information you require.

    To do this you could use the Command Prompt and type systeminfo > C:\updates.txt. This will generate a file on the root of C:\ that will show you the hotfixes etc installed.

    I write all of my Windows and other utilities in 100% pure assembly language. This results in the smallest, fastest, and most efficient programs possible.
