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?

    Yes... Use the Get Help app. They will turn off the update for users who can't turn off the update themselves. All sorted here.

    Indeed! The 'Get Help' technical team at Microsoft will ask your permission for a 'remote access' if you are having problems turning off the updates via the MediaCreationTool.
