    Microcode update warning won't go away

    I am new to Kali Linux and apparently I have installed an app and it has led to a repeat error message. I have search the forum and online elsewhere and not sure what to do. Is there an upgrade to resolve this issue or just reinstall Kali?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for any help!

    It's telling you the microcode for your CPU is not up to date.

    Try running:
    Code:
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt upgrade

    I've tried the update and upgrade commands and to no avail. I get the same code. Driving me crazy. I am wondering if I need to reinstall kali?

    Next time something you don't understand is driving you crazy, relieve your anxiety by searching Google for the answer.

    You have either an Intel or AMD processor, choose the right command:
    Code:
    sudo apt install intel-microcode
    Code:
    sudo apt install amd64-microcode
    Then, to make life easier and apt more user friendly, I suggest you install these programs through apt:
    debsums
    apt-listbugs
    apt-listchanges
    needrestart

    Then at the end of an upgrade you get this nice readout:

    Code:
    Scanning processes...                                                                                   
    Scanning processor microcode...                                                                         
    Scanning linux images...                                                                                
    
    Running kernel seems to be up-to-date.
    
    The processor microcode seems to be up-to-date.
    
    No services need to be restarted.
    
    No containers need to be restarted.
    
    No user sessions are running outdated binaries.
    
    No VM guests are running outdated hypervisor (qemu) binaries on this host.
