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?

    You mean KB4073290?

    KB4073290 is for x64/64bit and KB4073291 is for X86/32bit, and boot updates solved the same issue with AMD Athlon 64 and related CPUs with unbootable status caused by KB4056892.

    Thank you for the info, although I am confused:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4073290/unbootable-state-for-amd-devices-in-windows-10-version-1709

    Has been interpreted as the fix for Win10 x64 AMD X2 unbootable state.

    Update Details

    2018-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KB4073290)

    Last Modified: 1/17/2018

    "Architecture: AMD64 , X86"

    &

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-nz/help/4073291/january-18-2018-kb4073291-os-build-16299-201

    Has been interpreted as the fix for Win10 x86 AMD X2 unbootable state.

    "This update provides additional protections for 32-Bit (x86) version of Windows 10 1709 after you install January 3, 2018—KB4056892 (OS Build 16299.192)"

    "Architecture: AMD64 , X86"

    "Package Details-Replaces:

    2018-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x86-based Systems (KB4056892)"

    Are you sure KB4073290 replaces for the x64 OS, all the packages KB4073291 replaces???

    EDIT:  This question is also directed at any MS engineer that may be watching this thread...
