However, given that we are in the MS Security Update for Meltdown topic - I suspect you are looking for something else, e.g. does avast add the required registry key for MS to install the fix. The answer to that would appear to be a no, there is no HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\QualityCompat key in my XP registry. There is in my win10 system and I have got the update, though I didn't wait and went to the update catalogue to download and install it.

So if MS were even going to include an update for XP (POS, point of sale, aka sp4), then there is no registry key to trigger it.
Hi David!
Point 1: Please, be so kind as to see my sig. I have ... QualityCompat in almost every Registry except
on 'W2k' and the 'Twin-OS', for the last one is in another town!
Point 2: Concerning XP, I'll wait like for th other systems.
