It's not a problem with your PC and anyone who is saying it's Windows 10 needs to get off of their high horse.

The issue is with a security flaw in the chips in your computer itself. _All_ electronics (Windows, Mac, Android, anything that has a chip in it) is suffering from security flaws in it by the design of the chip. That's what those patches are trying to fix.

Keep calm, run your updates and be glad that they're actually watching out for your security instead of trying to sell you a new computer to fix the problem.

I know about the intel processors kernel bug. They knew about the bug for a long time. But they never focused on the bug unless hackers started to exploid this thing... they kept on making processors generation after generation with the same architectural flaw. And know the update windoes is going to provide to fix the problem is not only weak (as it is a hardware flaw) will also decrease performance by a significant margin.

@LostGuy Yep, that's exactly what all the reports stated when the issue was released. It's not just Intel though. AMD is hit by this too which is why every computer made in the past 15 years is being affected by this.
