Also I don't think this bios update has a fix for Spectre and Meltdown. Am I still exposed, what is my risk level, I have the latest Windows 10 updates which should mitigate the risks is that right?

You're very welcome.

 

I don't see where any of those BIOS updates provided any fixes for those security issues.

 

Unfortunately, I don't have any knowledge of those type of security risks, so I don't know what the consequences are by having an unpatched PC.

 

You may want to start a new topic on that.
