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?

    Jaroslav,

    Yes this is a nasty problem and apparently a nastier fix.  What is worse, with less severity  the "fix" appears to also affect newer AMD/ASUS combinations.  On this AMD FX 8150 system ASUS utilities stopped working after KB4056892.  I am using a workaround and just starting to look at the errors.

    What is Ironic is that last I read AMD doesn't think they have more severe of the problems.

    I have two other AMD systems here.  The remaining two will not be powered up without blocking  internet access, such that I can get some work done.

    All told, I have five  cans of worms here.  Two of them are open, and I'm not having fun.

    Looking around forms, it may look a lot worse on Microsoft's end.

    For now the best we can do is open problems, add information and try what others come up with.

    I can't help but suspect that at some point the folks at AMD may become as unhappy as we are.

    KB4056892 patch has failed to install twice on my desktop Dell Inspiron 531. (AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ 2.60 GHz)  It hangs on Windows Logo at reboot. No drive activity, no keyboard or mouse input. I have to do system restore to get the PC running again. 

    I have run Windows Show/Hide tool in attempt to pause installation of this update.   Yet to be seen if it actually worked.   http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f22d5fdb-59cd-4275-8c95-1be17bf70b21/wushowhide.diagcab

    Same problem on a friend’s older PC with an Athlon X2 Brisbane CPU on a Gigabyte Motherboard . Ended up having to reinstall windows and then pause updates.
