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

Anonymous

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.

In our environment, this is happening on all HP AMD based machines with Sure Start Secure Boot Key Protection enabled. If we turn that off before the initial attempt to install the KB then the KB will install. After restart we can renable the Sure Start protection. Each machine we've done this to also has to be rebooted two more times after the patch install for the NIC to be come active properly again. During the time the NIC isn't working properly an "ipconfig /all" command won't show the NIC adapters, but they appear in Device Manager and in Control Panel/Network Connections. On PCs where the Sure Start protections are in force at the time of patch install we get the same error Mikael Sillman

did. Sure Start then resets the keys and the system will boot up. Subsequent attempts to install the patch fail. Most often the error code is 0x80242FFF.
