I did not ask this question. This is nothing to do with me.

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?

2018-01-06T15:08:12+00:00 I "assume" (never assume) that the hide/show tool has to be used to hide the update BEFORE the update is installed.
Yes, BEFORE the update is installed!

2018-01-06T14:44:39+00:00 I was hoping the Hide/Show troubleshooter WUHIDESHOW.DIAGCAB tool downloaded at: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3073930/how-to-temporarily-prevent-a-driver-update-from-reinstalling-in-window
would help, but when I run it it unfortunately shows no updates to hide or show.
So for now, I guess I will have to leave my Windows Update Service stopped & disabled and hope for a fix.
I suspect that the Hide/Show tool relies on the service you have stopped.

START>>RUN>>SERVICES.MSC Find Windows Update Service, right-click-choose PROPERTIES and STOP the Service and choose STARTUP TYPE: DISABLED
I also reported it for documentation & escalation to Microsoft Support Chat but I sadly didn't get a good vibe that was going to help or do anything. The support agent diverted the issue back to me as needing an unspecified "firmware update" by my "hardware manufacturer", not that the update was the cause or would be fixed.
