I have 4 computers here that I would have expected the latest consolidated update but one doesn't seem to want to download it. 

Folks, any ideas?

I, personally, don't/won't do anything yet.....

Another good article with lots of further info:

Hi,

Rather than posting a new question I thought I would reply this.

I have been checking for updates regularly expecting to receive the Meltdown update KB4056892. I am using Kaspersky internet security and Malwarebytes both of which are listed as compatible with the update. I have not yet received this update and when I check I am informed Windows is up to date. I am using Windows 10 Version 1709.

 I am a bit concerned and not sure what to do. Having looked at the Microsoft Update catalogue I am also  unsure which of the listed downloads for KB4056892 to download ? I am not very tech savvy and have limited knowledge.

Presumably it is:

Great info Thanks!

You're welcome, Camielb!
