I think this is the intel CPU in question, which is 32bit.

I’m led to believe the amd64-microcode is required for kernel metapackage dependencies irrespective of bitness.
Each microcode file is modular, likely for the ease of code updating, without the need for additional kernel updates/ revisions.

My experience is, if it’s already there on your system, you can check via synaptic package manager – Search, take the offered 257kb amd64-microcode update and future ones and don’t lose sleep over it 🙂

FWIW I’m sure there’s something somewhere (dll, exe) that prevents file deletion as an AV security measure, just can’t remember where..

Check over the following for anything McAfee related to remove:

startup config
services
task scheduler

Restart PC then check/ kill McAfee processes and continue to remove remnants, files first then the folder (my own experience of hierarchy habits)

Your registry will have some McAfee references, leave or hunt out, your decision.

It’s actually documented and there is the option to disable if you so wish by navigating to the following:

Start > Settings > Windows Update and, next to Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available, set the toggle to OFF.

The good news is if you have Windows 11, version 22H2 or later, you can choose to get the latest non-security and feature updates as soon as they become available for your device (now and in the future). Here’s how:

My emphasis bolding

Ref: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/get-windows-updates-as-soon-as-they-re-available-for-your-device-cad7b32b-001e-435b-9110-f18309b54168

Might be worth reading if you don’t appreciate the unexpected..

So what did everyone get then, a non-security update? crfeature update? or an unlucky charm?

Me, I’d disable this setting given how it operates.
