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?

    Ditto on this for me too. AMD Opteron 180 on 32 bit Win10 15063.

    I had to restore my C drive from a backup in order to get anywhere. I used the ShowHide tool mentioned in this thread to find KB4056891 dated 1/2018 which I suspect is the same and that discussed in this thread but for 32 bit Windows.

    This really sucks! But thanks to all for the help here.

    This is also off-topic. I am long time Linux developer, but it doesn't prevent me from buying Windows licenses. And btw there are much better options than Ubuntu ;)

    I do not work for Ubuntu. I am telling you by experince how to get rid of your problem. Since I stop using Windows my life is much better and more managable. 

    So far Linux has demotrated to be more stable and on top of both issues better than Microsoft. 

    Is okay if you are fan, and see options a threat, but so far all the patches I have received has not render my pc obsolote. :)

    And Ubuntu's spell check and grammar check obviously work so well. :)
