What version number do you show on the system window?

Isn’t 1703 the latest?

I don't recommend the fast ring for systems that need stability, like ours. It is basically a way to get early releases of Windows 10 updates. These might and usually do have major bugs. Here is a link: https://insider.windows.com/en-us/getting-started/

I take that for good advice. Thanks!

This is apparently already fixed in OS10.13.2.

Says it is "partially" fixed. The rest is should be in 10.13.3

Interesting enough the Intel article says exactly what i thought it would.

“Contrary to some reports, any performance impacts are workload-dependent, and, for the average computer user, should not be significant and will be mitigated over time.”

Won’t this be interesting, to see how it plays out

I think we forget about it in a couple weeks, patches are silently released, the problem that never affected us is now forgotten and resolved.

It was listed as fixed when I posted the link. Story has since been updated.

Any inclination on how this will affect Protools performance or stability?

Is not applying the patch even a realistic option?

We don't even know how or if it will affect the computer in general, so we are not going to know that for awhile.
