I have installed the patch released today as detailed here and then set the two registry keys as mentioned:
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverride /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverrideMask /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f
However, when I run the provided PowerShell module to check, it is informing me the mitigations are still not enabled:
PS C:\Users\Administrator> get-speculationcontrolsettings
Speculation control settings for CVE-2017-5715 [branch target injection]
Hardware support for branch target injection mitigation is present: False
Windows OS support for branch target injection mitigation is present: False
Windows OS support for branch target injection mitigation is enabled: False
Speculation control settings for CVE-2017-5754 [rogue data cache load]
Hardware requires kernel VA shadowing: True
Windows OS support for kernel VA shadow is present: False
Windows OS support for kernel VA shadow is enabled: False
Suggested actions
* Install BIOS/firmware update provided by your device OEM that enables hardware support for the branch target injection mitigation.
* Install the latest available updates for Windows with support for speculation control mitigations.
* Follow the guidance for enabling Windows support for speculation control mitigations are described in https://support.microsoft.com/help/4072698
BTIHardwarePresent : False
BTIWindowsSupportPresent : False
BTIWindowsSupportEnabled : False
BTIDisabledBySystemPolicy : False
BTIDisabledByNoHardwareSupport : False
KVAShadowRequired : True
KVAShadowWindowsSupportPresent : False
KVAShadowWindowsSupportEnabled : False
KVAShadowPcidEnabled : False
Why is this? What else do I have to do? I have rebooted the server for good measure with no improvement.
Update after answer from @Paul:
I've now installed the correct update (wally), and this is the output of the PowerShell cmdlet:
PS C:\Users\Administrator> get-speculationcontrolsettings
Speculation control settings for CVE-2017-5715 [branch target injection]
Hardware support for branch target injection mitigation is present: False
Windows OS support for branch target injection mitigation is present: True
Windows OS support for branch target injection mitigation is enabled: False
Windows OS support for branch target injection mitigation is disabled by system policy: True
Windows OS support for branch target injection mitigation is disabled by absence of hardware support: True
Speculation control settings for CVE-2017-5754 [rogue data cache load]
Hardware requires kernel VA shadowing: True
Windows OS support for kernel VA shadow is present: True
Windows OS support for kernel VA shadow is enabled: False
Suggested actions

BTIDisabledBySystemPolicy : True

Is this everything I can do pending a microcode update?
