Microsoft has today re-released the Intel microcode updates for all versions of Windows 10 including the latest April 2018 Update (also known as Redstone 4 or version 1803). The refreshed Intel microcode update apparently adds support for more processors and fixes some bug fixes.
As noted above, Windows 10 April 2018 Update is also getting the refreshed Intel patch. If your PC is on Windows 10 April 2018 Update, you may get KB4100347. But it’s worth noting that the update won’t show on devices that are already patched against the vulnerabilities.

♦ Broadwell Server E, EP, EP4S
