From the comments on the article at engadget:

“Windows 10 isn’t vulnerable (because Windows breaks the spec in exactly the proposed way to avoid the attack), and iOS isn’t vulnerable either (for the same reason), and AFAIK it shares its networking stack with macOS so macOS is likely not vulnerable either.”

This means if you use Windows 10 or a Mac as a WiFi client you should be safe.

Linux clients are still vulnerable (Android).

Thanks for posting what you did about WIN 10. I don’t fully grasp all of this tech stuff.
