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?

    I’m in the same boat (Athlon 64 X2 6000 on a Asus M2N-E motherboard).  What i can’t figure out is how to prevent the updates.  I have a restore point, which seems to work, but after the first reboot it immediately does some updates which borks the system, and I’m back to square one.  How do I get the restored system to not do any updates?

    I even downloaded an ISO of the Fall Creators Update, but my machine hangs when booting off of it (with a really weird orange screen).

    Thanks

    Not a problem.  As expected with a problem of this nature, confusion appears to be the order of the day.

    I am trying to keep the ASUS utility stuff in the thread mentioned in the last reply so as not to clutter a thread addressing a more severe problem.

    Do give some thought to

    1. How can I get my ASUS utilities working again.
    2. What to do if I can't.
