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

    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.
