KB4056892 is Awaiting restart
Unfortunately, when I did a restart it bricked my system. I had a large windows logo on the screen and it just sat there. I rebooted and was able to trigger a repair. The repair said it was backing out the last update as it would not be completely installed.
With KB4056892 is Awaiting restart I did another restart and had the same problem. At the end I was staring at a Windows logo that just sat there.
Again I triggered a repair and the system is now usable. However, Windows Update still says: KB4056892 is Awaiting restart
How do I block it so it doesn't get installed if I have to reboot the machine?

>Did you use WUT and allow it to delete all downloaded files?
I ran it and allowed it to do whatever it wanted.
I was then able to hide KB4056892.
I then ran:
net stop wuauserv
rmdir %windir%\softwaredistribution /s /q
net start wuauserv
But KB4056892 is still showing as pending restart in Windows Update
Go into Services and stop Windows Update.
>I used wushowhide.diagcab to hide KB4056892.
I did that but WIndows Update still shows it as pending a restart. Did KB4056892 still show as pending restart after you hide it?
