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?

    Je viens d'avoir le support M.S au téléphone, ils connaissent le problème, il doit il y avoir un correctif en février, en attendant il me demande de bloquer les mises à jour.

    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.

    Still can't beat the blacks on a plasma, especially on the cheaper LED's, even with the better lighting. And i wish smart TV's weren't. We've got PC's for that. Well at least we did until this damn update.

    I read an article they'd pulled it but i'm still getting it redownloaded after i roll back. Not good!

    Merci, Monsieur Delage! 

    He says

    "I just had Mr. S support on the phone, they know the problem, there must be a fix in February, meanwhile it asks me to block the updates. "

    So there you go.

    It should be noted that this problem only affects users with AMD processors because AMD (unlike ARM and INTEL) are still in denial about SPECTRE's ability to target them.

    Yes, they are immune to Meltdown (or so it appears) so they are refusing to do anything to update their drivers until their users start getting whacked by SPECTRE.

    Figures.

    Meanwhile those of us with ARM or INTEL are patched.

    Such is life.
