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?

    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?

    Old but always reliable AMD based machine exhibits same behavior as reported; windows logo and zero response to input. Reboot triggers auto repair and I can now type this message but windows update is threatening to bone me again with the next reboot. I have a full (FULL) day of work ahead of me and would like to think that my system will be stable but am dubious. Deeply frustrating, where's the fix, Microsoft?

    Type cmd in search and Run as administrator then type as follows;

    net stop wuauservrmdir %windir%\softwaredistribution  /s /qnet start wuauserv exit
