Thanks for the feedback.
The following indicates the value should be in Update Revision on Intel Core:

	https://www.xf.is/view-cpu-microcode-revision-from-powershell

/proc/cpuinfo currently extracts that from Update Revision but it appears we may
also have to look for Update Signature, perhaps available only on some Windows
releases or Intel CPUs.

Could you please run:

$ head /proc/version

and post the output e.g.:

CYGWIN_NT-10.0-18363 version 3.1.4-340.x86_64 (corinna AT calimero) (gcc version
7.4.0 20181206 (Fedora Cygwin 7.4.0-1) (GCC) ) 2020-02-19 08:49 UTC

also:

$ regtool list -v "/proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows
NT/CurrentVersion/" | fgrep =

and post the output e.g.:

SystemRoot (REG_SZ) = "C:\Windows"
BaseBuildRevisionNumber (REG_DWORD) = 0x00000001 (1)

I'll have to recheck how Linux handles these, and if there are any new AMD/Intel
differences; I'll also have a look in WSL2 for how that gets it, if there are
any differences; see if there is anything from MS, and elsewhere.
I'll have to see if anyone in the family has an Intel box, I can get and put
Cygwin on for checking.
