2020-02 Updates KB4524244 Locks Up My Computer and Fails Install

I received the Patch Tuesday releases today.  KB4532693, KB4537759 and KB4538674 dropped in the first wave and all installed successfully.  On a subsequent "Check for Updates"  KB4524244 downloaded and installed but on the reboot, it rebooted the first time but froze hard on the second re-boot with Step 2 information and a frozen spinner on my screen, no keyboard or any access.  After about 15 mins I finally forced the system down.  On the reboot, my Secure Boot flagged me that the keys were corrupted.  I was able to get those repaired and reboot into the system.  I rebooted a couple more times but no updates attempted to install.  On a third "Check for updates, the same (KB4524244) update attempted to download but freezes the system at 94% on the download.  Again freezes hard requiring a hard re-set.  I tried flushing the Software Distribution cache but get the same results.

FYI:  I am running Windows defender with VBS (Credential Guard and Hypervisor enforced Code Integrity on an HP EliteDesk 705 G4 MT with a AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 2400G with Radeon Vega Graphics.  I also have a similar set up running on an HP laptop (Intel i5), but the update installed fine on it.

    PCR,

    I tried the suggestion to press F12 at the Lenovo logo.  I tried to both tapping, press and hold, etc.  I get the same message I get from pressing F1 on the Recovery screen.  I get a message that says "to interrupt normal startup press enter."  When I press enter nothing happens and if I let this run it just loops back to the original recovery screen that I posted the photo of.

    I appreciate your suggestions so if you have any other ideas I'm all ears.

    I'm having the same problem on Apple Bootcamp.

    KB4524244 - Error 0x800f0922

    Tried to manually install it without success.

    Same problem here on several machines, and they are all running on AMD Ryzen cpus. Installing (trying to install) KB4524244 results in the machine freezing and after recycling the power there's an uefi error (see the image).

    This has happened on several machine (both HP laptops and desktops), all running on AMD Ryzen cpus, and all with default bios/uefi settings with the newest bios installed. Windows 10 1809, 1903 or 1909 on all.

    KB4524244, a security update,  cannot be installed. This is a very serious problem. I hope Microsoft/Apple can resolve the issue soon.

    We are also having this issue on all of our HP EliteBook 745 G5's with AMD Ryzen APU. Sure Start is enabled on all of them. We can confirm that Lenovo based AMD Ryzen laptops are not having the same issue with KB4524244 with Secure Boot enabled. We have pulled this KB from SCCM. We have sent the issue to Microsoft Platforms DSE and they are looking at the issue internally.
