    Windows 7 x64 fully updated.
    Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU D2500 @ 1.86GHz
    Does anyone know why they are greyed out?

    Also why it says my system has Meltdown protection if:
    Code:
    FeatureSettingsOverride  > 3
    FeatureSettingsOverrideMask > 3

    OK thanks for the info, I still don't get the Meltdown protection though. It's confusing for me now that I want to disable it.

    Yes I did.

    Weird, both registry values are 3.
    Both Meltdown and Spectre protections should be disabled only the latter is according to InSpectre.
