I don't have neither KB4012218 nor KB4015549 installed. Checked via: Control Panel / Programs / Uninstall a Program / View Installed Updates and also via wmic qfe | find “4012218”. Yet I have the same problem. Any ideas?
Thanks.

I, just like most users hate Windows 10 for so many issues and bugs. It has usability issues and so many problems that Windows support team chooses ignore despite multiple complaints. Microsoft knows this very well but they keep hush about all this. Now to add to it, Windows 7 (the best OS so far) keeps giving a warning that my Intel Core i7 (7700k) processor is not supported.
I'm sorry but Windows 10 is officially the **** and buggiest product I've ever used. And I'm never going to switch to it until every problem has been fixed. Please do something about these annoying "unsupported processor" pop ups. If this is not resolved soon I'm going to write an entire blog about this and I'm sure there are many users who feel the same. Now this is not a small issue and I suggest to take this at the highest priority.
Every user should be allowed to use whatever version of Windows that suits their needs and is comfortable to use.

2017-08-27T10:32:27+00:00 Hello everyone,
this issue is caused by any release of the Security Monthly Quality Rollup now.
Updating Windows can continue after uninstalling the previous release.
Regards, VZ

Who knows what is being loaded onto my computer from github. And when you say you are getting updates, how sure are you that MS is actually writing any updates. According to Gates, they are no longer servicing 7 or 8 when using these new chips. I assume that means their engineers are not looking to fix any bugs or security issues for us. Who knows what your getting from MS unless the all knowing Gates fills us in, which apparently they have absolutely no intentions of doing. And how long do you think it will take him to fix your fix. I think we should wait to do away with this thread until MS gets involved.

2017-08-29T06:42:19+00:00 No offence taken ;) And indeed, M$ should fix this! But till then I just trusted the github and open source community that the patch didn't load anything nasty on my PC (it is my personal PC, used for gaming, so not really worried about data on it getting corrupted).
The chips (in my opinion) don't really need any special code from M$ (as processors are always backward compatible). In the worst case, some new instructions from the new chip are not used to the max (I can live with that for now).
So yes, it is a bit risky, I don't recommend doing it on a work computer with critical data on it. But for gaming Windows 7 still rules and it doesn't spy you as much as Windows 10.
