Tried modifying the firmware to update to the latest version 0xf4, using the Intel® Processor Identification Utility to see that the microcode was up to date, but it did not work for vmware workstation (it seemed that the early loading was invalid,enabled VT-x), For installing ubuntu bare metal and then updating the microcode, the following prompts [ 0.000000] microcode: microcode updated early to revision 0xf4, date = 2023-02-23 [ 0.716286] microcode: Microcode Update Driver: v2.2.
What should I do to update the microcode in vmware workstation（ubuntu server 22.04）. Normally the following should be displayed
I can't think of any other way
