AMD Athlon 4450B 64-bit

Is the AMD Athlon Dual Core 4450B (64-bit) processor included in any of the revised updates? I am still unable to update to KB4056892 without the "freeze" occurring, forcing me to roll back to version 1709 build 16299.125. Is there any specific listing
of AMD processors that are included in the fixes?

Safe to install KB4074588 on AMD Athlon x64 ?

Hi Fionn,

Are you using Windows 10 Pro or Home?
Windows Updates could be disabled for up to 35 days on Windows 10 Pro, but on
Windows 10 Home, Windows Updates will be automatically installed. No need to worry, KB4074588
is totally safe for older AMD processors such as AMD Athlon x2. We already addressed the issues that arise upon installing latest updates for AMD Athlon x2. For further information regarding
KB4074588 , kindly refer to this link.

Regarding your question about system restore, it is foolproof. System Restore points could automatically fix issues that arises during the installation a new hardware or software. Creating a System Restore point every week is recommended.

Do get back to us if you have more questions.

Regards.
