For folks on Windows looking for Meltdown/Spectre protection but whose motherboard manufacturers are no longer pushing updates, this appears to be an option. I posted this in the other thread[1] but thought it warranted some more exposure.
Here are links to the latest microcodes I could find for Intel[2] and AMD[3]. As additional fixes come out, it is trivial to copy the updated microcode file over and reboot.
