Intel microcode updates will not be installed automatically. Users will have to manually download and install the woodwork. Below is the download link for the new Intel Microcode updates for each Windows 10 version:
Although these are the security updates you should install, you should also note that in the past Intel microcode updates often caused problems such as slowdowns, crashes on older CPU computers. Before the update, you should also find out if your processor needs to be patched.
To see details about the CPU you are using, you can use the software CPU-Z. Besides, you can also use the Device Manager tool.
