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?

    Had this issue with a Dell Inspiron 531 with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ processor. Machine tried to apply the January cumulative update KB4056892

    and then failed to reboot, on the second restart it backed out the update. I paused updates twice and then downloaded and manually applied 2018-03 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KB4089848) from the Microsoft Update Catalog site

    Machine rebooted and all seems OK

    2 ways to control Windows 10 automatic updates

    An up-to-date PC is less vulnerable to attack, so automatic updates are generally a good thing. But sometimes an update will make things worse, rendering a PC problematic or even unusable until the problem is solved.

    That’s why some people prefer to hold off on an update until other people have tried it without disaster. But this requires you to take time out of your day to keep up on the news about Windows updates (a Google News alert can help).

    And if you’re using Windows 10, you’ve got another problem. It won’t let you turn off automatic updates. Luckily, there are two workarounds.

    But if you chose to use one of these tricks, remember to follow the update news.

    Change the Group Policy

    If you have a Professional, Enterprise, or Education edition of Windows 10, you can turn off automatic updates. But the option is hidden.

    1. Press Win-R, type gpedit.msc, press Enter. This brings up the Local Group Policy Editor.
    2. Navigate the left pane as if it were File Explorer, to

       Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update.

    1. Find and double-click Configure Automatic Updates.

    1. In the resulting dialog box, select Enabled.
    2. In the Options box, pull down the Configure automatic updating menu and select your preferred

    option.

    If you’ve got the plain old Home version of Windows 10, you can stop automatic updates by lying to your operating system. (Morally speaking, this doesn’t bother me a bit.)

    But there’s a more serious caveat. It only works with a Wi-Fi network. Ethernet need not apply.

    The trick is to tell Windows that you have a metered connection to the Internet—one that can only download so many bits per month without increasing your ISP bill. To tell Windows that you have a metered connection (whether you do or not):

    1. Select Start > Settings > Network & Internet.
    2. The Wi-Fi tab should already be selected in the left pane. In the right, main pane, select  Advanced options.
    3. Turn on Metered connection.

    You should do this for any Wi-Fi network you visit. The setting is only for that particular network.

    You have two ways to manually update: You can turn off the metered connection option. Or you can simply use another network, even one with Ethernet.

    Because there you will speak to a live chat Microsoft representative who will give you the answer to your question. I can't possibly answer it.
