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?

    I have the same AMD Athlon 64x2 and would advise you to keep update 'KB4056892' hidden until such time Microsoft or vendor AMD issue a fix.

    I agree, but if they offer a "good KB4056892" for my machine, will it come through if it's blocked, or will MS give it a different designation.  The articles weren't clear on that.

    I'm probably low risk so I'll just wait for something definitive.

    So, do I unhide (show) KB4056892 now, or just wait for a new one to show up? I have an Athlon 64x2.

    Thanks

    Reading the articles now ..  but I will say this .. my PC crashed 2 days ago .. and I have the same CPU ..
