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?

    Oh well...I haven't had a TV since the 90s anyway. But I've known people with Plasma TVs and they seemed quite nice...the TVs, I mean 😊

    And about AMD being unaffected as ConiGL says....that may not be QUITE true:

    SPECTRE actually targets more than just Intel

    Unfortunately, for those running outdated microprocessors instead of the modern ones, there will be no support, I'm guessing those over about 8 years old.

    Of course one could always change the motherboard but it would be false economy to and a new PC is always a better bet.

    AMD site. Maybe more information has come to light for this problem with AMD chips.

    AMD Update:http://www.amd.com/en/corporate/speculative-execution

    I would block the Microsoft patch until they fix it for the amd processors.

    If it is true that AMD is really not affected by these vulnerabilities I think my next laptop will have AMD processor .

    As it so goes, I am in the process of purchasing a new PC, most probably none Microsoft. Looks like Apple have gained yet another fan😄

    Support only last for so long with software developers and chipset manufacturers sadly, they want us to open our wallets more often!

    On the subject of Plasma's, I thought they had gone out with the wind many years back. We have OLED Smart TV's nowadays.
