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?

    The problem I have is that KB4056892 is waiting to install on the next boot.  How do I stop that?

    1. Go to :

       https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3073930/how-to-temporarily-prevent-a-driver-update-from-  reinstalling-in-window

    1. Download  and install  :

         http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f22d5fdb-59cd-4275-8c95-1be17bf70b21/wushowhide.diagcab

    1. Block KB4056892  fix update
    2. Stay tuned

    Ok, downloaded 'wushowhide.diagcab' ran the program and it says 'successful' to hide this particular update. Still shows 'waiting for restart' in update section in Settings. Will restart system now and report back the result.

    <i>

    Windows Update History reports that KB4054517 failed to install because of Error 0x80070643.

    </i>

    Same error message I received 3 times trying to download it.

    "Security Update for Windows (KB4056892) is already installed on this computer."

    That suggests it is installed but not applied.

    Heh.  I wonder if there is a typo in this workaround.  This is actually one of the issues that this patch is supposed to be fixing

    If that is the case you don't have anything to worry about and you should not see it offered again.

    Unfortunately they deleted the original workaround but fortunately we have a copy of the original

    Ever since installing this patch my pc has randomly locked up 3 times during gaming.  Didn't have this problem prior to the patch.

    I have downloaded this from the Catalog directly, and when trying to run the error I get is:

    "Security Update for Windows (KB4056892) is already installed on this computer."

    This despite the fact that it has failed twice during automatic update.
