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?

KB4073290 is new cumulative update and replaces KB4056892, so you can just install KB4073290 directly and without KB4056892.
Where do you see that?
This is what I see:
"An update is available to fix the following issue that occurs after you install January 3, 2018—KB4056892 (OS Build 16299.192):
AMD devices fall into an unbootable state.
Update replacement information
This update does not replace a previously released update."
I am in a before KB4056892 state, not "after you install" state.
EDIT:
2018-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KB4073290)
Will watch this thread before I implement. Thanks

That's the way I read it. Also that's what I did and all seems to be fine.

uhm is strange, now in Windows Update catalog it says that only replaces KB4051963.
Downloaded and Installed KB4073290 Athlon 64 x2 5600 OK!!.
Checked Updates and no appear KB4056892 (hidden).
Many thanks.
