Hi support, Thanks for the prompt update. Windows10 systems are mentioned into the bulletin. It includes Windows Server 2016 being on the same codeline. Which other Windows Server version are involved? 2012 R2, 2012, None? Regards, Gianni

We currently do not know which versions of Windows will be fixed with the fix that is working for the Windows 10 environment. We will have to wait until Microsoft has released their fix for the Meltdown vulnerability on the following additional supported OS platforms for Uniface Anywhere 5.0.2 before we can say anything about it. Windows 8.1, Windows 8 Windows Server 2016 Windows Server 2012 R2 Windows Server 2012 Windows Server 2008 R2 Windows 7 SP1 All of them being 64-bit.   As soon as we have more information, we will announce it here.

As expected, we have found incompatibilities with Uniface Anywhere and the Windows Updates that Microsoft released this week. Specifically, all versions of Uniface Anywhere are incompatible with the latest updates to Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. All versions of Uniface Anywhere are also incompatible with the latest updates to Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 R2, but only when Microsoft’s fix for the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities is enabled via specific registry modifications. When one of the incompatible Windows Updates is installed and enabled on a Uniface Anywhere host, Uniface Anywhere sessions fail to start. It is important to note that Uniface Anywhere is only incompatible on the server versions of Windows when specific registry values are set. Microsoft intends for Antivirus programs that support Microsoft’s fix to set these registry values and enable the fix, but it is not clear that Antivirus programs are doing this. We have not yet seen the Meltdown/Spectre fix enabled on any of our test systems that are running server versions of Windows, and we have not yet had any customers report incompatibilities with a server version of Windows. We do not know when Antivirus programs or Microsoft will enable the Meltdown/Spectre fix on the server versions of Windows.   More information on this when it becomes available.   The Uniface Technical Support Team.
