Fixlet Description: Customers need to enable mitigations to help protect against speculative execution side-channel vulnerabilities. Enabling these mitigations may affect performance. The actual performance impact will depend on multiple factors, such as the specific chipset in your physical host and the workloads that are running. Microsoft recommends that customers assess the performance impact for their environment and make necessary adjustments. Your server is at increased risk if it is in one of the following categories: Hyper-V hosts Remote Desktop Services Hosts (RDSH) For physical hosts or virtual machines that are running untrusted code such as containers or untrusted extensions for database, untrusted web content or workloads that run code that is provided from external sources.
