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?

2018-01-06T11:23:13+00:00 I have another PC with Win 10 Home and I searched the option you suggested but didn't find it. Is it Win 10 Pro specific?
Thanks, Angelo.

2018-01-06T10:09:04+00:00 Just to add also happening with AMD Athlon 5050e - have to keep restoring to a point before the installation of kb4056892 after which automatic update inevitable happens and I am unable to reboot again. Very frustrating!

2018-01-06T06:29:52+00:00 I'm having the identical problem with the system locking on boot after the KB4056892 update on an Athlon X2 5600 (Brisbane) W10 64 bit Home, and an Athlon 64 X2 6000 (Windsor) W10 64 bit Pro machine. I had to restore or reset the machines to get them to boot up again. I'm putting hidden updates on hold on those machines for now.
Interestingly, I am not having the problem with an Athlon X2 7850 (Kuma) 64 bit Home, or Athlon II X3 (Rana) 64 bit Pro machines. Those processors have slightly newer architectures compared to the K8 cores above.

2018-01-06T05:15:30+00:00 I am also having this issue on my AMD Althlon 64 x2 5000+. I've tried reinstalling windows and installing the update with no additional software installed and the issue is still there. Very frustrating issue! It’s an old computer but it’s still good. Would appreciate MS fixing this issue, it was working fine before this update.
Having the very same issue. Glad to see others discussing, at least. I have an old Acer w/AMD processor. Agreed, it's an old computer, but it's still good. Please fix, MS.
