No. I have to look it up to be certain but I believe that MS did not want to patch CPU microcode during boot and tried to leave that to the firmware. But - I may be wrong here - this stance changed with Spectre and Meltdown and Windows does indeed patch microcode during boot on affected CPUs. However, I don't think there is a way to apply a user-specified patch. The update has to come from MS.
