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?

    I did follow as above with same old square. Now It seemed my problem has resolved after reset with usb media from HP (Mine is HP notebook with window 10, 64 bit).  My numerous attempt of window reset/window mediacreation reset was in vain. As you know the problem was “2018-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KB4056892) - Installing stops at 99%, resulting in restart 8 hours”.Now I was unable to see such.  

    Regards

    Exactly! I had the cumulative update KB4058258 offered by Microsoft's Update & Security interface and the buggy KB4056892 no longer shows on wushowhide. I will say that Microsoft kept to their word on this patch.

    You can rollback the buggy KB4056892 and go to the Microsoft Update Catalog to patch the fix.
