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?

    Thanks.  I have since had 3 separate Technicians from their tech support company call me to attempt a fix.  They each spent a 3-4 hours on my system doing all the stuff I've seen laid out in some of these posts to no avail.  After throwing in the towel the last tech told me that Msft will eventually put out a replacement upgrade. 

    My auto update finally stopped trying to install kb4056892 after 55 failed attempts so, at least I don't have to wake up to a rebooted system.  Unlike others here I was fortunate in that the constantly failing update did not prevent my system from functioning normally.

    I got past the 4517 fiasco just to come to the 6892 disaster.  My update turns in to 4 window pane crash that ends in a restore back to 4517.

    Now I have repeat myself to get to the point of hiding 6892. Right now it is spending 3 to 5 hours getting windows ready, what a waste of time.

    Let you know what happens sometime tomorrow.

    Folks,

    May have some good news for; 

    HP tx1000_ AMD Turion 64 x 2 Mob Tech TL-58_4GB Ram_GEFORCE Go 6150_Win 10 Pro v.1709 build 16299.194

    Clean install v.1709 from ISO

    Block KB4056892 from Win10 update

    Install KB 4058043, KB4056892, KB 4056887 from win10 update

    Download and install KB 4073290 AMD from MS catalogue

    After this done and restarted, no longer have freeze during boot up, and no updates pending so hope problem solved (at least until the next time MS decide to boost their and intel's profits by killing off our inconvenient PC's in their prime)

    Best of luck..
