it appears to be fixed by edit on 22 June. Thank you!

[Karl-WE]

Have to reopen. German page (de-de) is still outdated. en-us is ok.

[Karl-WE]

A further notice on this. L1TF, SSB patches say they are Catalog only. But they appear on WSUS. So apparently this information is outdated. Please check.

Hello, @Karl-WE

We truly appreciate your comment and we strive to improve your experience in docs.microsoft.com. However, we need more information in order to be able to address your feedback. Can you please provide more detailed information and clarify your comment?

I think this should be assigned to @helenamasar or @peiwgit for follow-up.

[peiwgit]

We will look into this. Thanks for forwarding @SonjaSaltzman !

[Karl-WE]

@peiwgit I've to check my comment as it was made long ago. I will let you know if there are still inconsistent information comparing en-us or de-de, thanks for taking up the request.

[peiwgit]

Thanks for your follow-up @Karl-WE !

[Karl-WE]

@peiwgit en-us and de-de now deliver consistent information about MDS patches.

However a small thing is still wrong across both pages

KB4497165 only lists 1903, yet we all know patches for 1909 and 1903 are same.

If you could add 1909 to the table for KB4497165 in column 2 it would be fine.

@peiwgit agreed?

[helenamasar]

@ Karl-WE thank-you for your feedback. We are updating the content per your suggestions. The en version has been updated and the localized versions will follow shortly.

[Karl-WE]

You're welcome.

OT: I really hope that, while I understand possible reasons, that all docs and KBs can be edited in a same manner as docs.microsoft.com in en-us using github directly.

This might save workload on translators as non en-us articles are mostly outdated, with even crucial information.

[Karl-WE]

If you need translators for de-de, let me know. @helenamasar @peiwgit

Hi there the current situation on this doc looks better and consistent in en-us, de-de. Yet it there should be a remark if a Windows OS is not listed the microcode is integrated in this same version as it would be provided via download. Same went with 18xx and 19xx unless there have been revised Microcodes that got offered to download again.

From a Sec point of view Microsoft should definitely push them out via Windows Update to be honest. We have many enterprises and no one had any issues after deployment of the full protection package.,
