I received this comment with a note about the microcode update KB4497165. But Microsoft has also released such updates for older Windows versions – the colleagues from deskmodder.de have published the list of all updates here. Here is the list of KBs:
- KB4497165: Windows Windows Server, Version 1903, Windows 10 Version 1903. Windows Server Version 1909, Windows 10 Version 1909
- KB4494174: Windows Server Version 1809, Windows 10 Version 1809

The microcode updates have been revised and now include support for the following Intel CPUs:

Please note that the updates may only be installed for the CPUs listed in the KB articles. It is up to each user to decide if he wants to install the microcode updates.
note that these revised intel microcode updates for many win10 releases are only available from the ms update catalog currently as this Softpedia news article pointed out:

MS support KB article 4497165 lists "Sandy Bridge" with CPUID "206A7" as "8th Generation Intel® Core™ Processors"
that is actually a mis-print as Sandy Bridge CPUs are actually 2nd generation Intel Core processors. all other KB articles like 4494174 have Sandy Bridge listed correctly
