How Do I Block 2018-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KB4056892)?

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?

    after wakeup screen is just like attached..and that need reboot again. 

    Have you tried  Win+Ctrl+Shift+B  instead?  (May be needed more than once with psychic pauses between retries.)

    Alternatively, still trying to avoid a Restart, try using a change in the Project dialog to cause a Refresh.  E.g. Win+P, CursorUp, Enter.  Note that if the change would go to Second Screen Only there will be a Keep this? prompt to which you could reply with Tab, Enter.  However, it would be a good idea to have Narrator running first so you can still feel that you're in control.  Win+Ctrl+Enter.

    Good luck

    Well this is not really what your asking for but here are the patches for the problems with amd cpu’s both for 32-bit and 64-bit being unable to boot after trying to install the update. It worked for my system.

    32 bit: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=kb4073291

    64 bit: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4073290

    Hope this works for you guys!
