I have seen that "Image Enhancement" phrase attached to a security-update addressing the "Spectre" and "Meltdown" vulnerabilities that were well-publicized in early January 2018.

Microsoft Windows is a "black-box", that changes into a different "black-box", every month, as security-updates are applied.  It seems to be an impossible task to "audit" such this proprietary "black-box" from Microsoft.

 

In contrast, Linux is "open-source", where every line of it source-code can be reviewed by the public.

Guess that I realy don't need this to install unless have to for my desktop. I already setup a reminder for install through HP once a week unless I decided not going to install.
