After installation of KB4056892 boot failure, after roll-back error 0x800f0845

Hi,

I have older AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+, Asus MB, after installation of KB4056892 the system doesn't boot, it only shows the Windows logo without animation and nothing more. After several failed boots it do roll-back then it shows error 0x800f0845. Unfortunately, it seems it's not easy to disable the automatic updates without gpedit tweaks, so it tries installing and rolling-back the update over and over. The sfc /scannow shows no problem, in-place upgrade also doesn't seem to help. I can try full reinstall, but I doubt it will change anything. It seems like the update is binary incompatible with my old CPU. I understand that making the machine unbootable is the best protection from remote exploitation, but I would rather have the OS working. Especially if my CPU is not vulnerable to the Meltdown attack and the MS mitigation attempts for Spectre is more than questionable. I could find only some German and Italian people reporting the same issue (well the CPU is quite pre-historic and the KB update is very fresh), but no info / acknowledgment from the MS so far. I have Czech localization. Could anybody provide more information?

    No problems now, but will repost if any come up. I let dism run while we were out for dinner! 

    There may have been problems with original drive, but with clean install, I used a new SSD that I happened to have. AMD X2 series processor.

    Thanks, I will now unsubscribe.

    On one of the AMD Machines, that reset for the 2nd time late last nite (after an auto reset from a previous days lock up), the machine had the Hide/show troubleshooter installed and set to hide (verified), i had forgotten to uninstall the update after running the troubleshooter, after the first resetting, i assumed.  the update did not show up in programs and features, after the 2nd reset, but still shows as able to be unhidden...  That AMD device will be watched today.....  As it caused a cold dinner, and an unwanted discussion....

    will then see if the bad update can be started again, so it can be hidden then uninstalled

    There's no need to start searching for updates, the Hide/show troubleshooter de facto do a search for updates itself.

    On some machines that reset, Hide/show troubleshooter would not find the update till it was pending, which surprised me as some machines reset the 2nd time on the 10th
