Windows 10: Windows Show/Hide Tool - Which one is KB4056892?

To prevent KB4056892 from installing I download the MS Show/Hide update tool, but I have no idea which one of these is KB4056892 since it does not list the KB#. For all I know none of these are KB4056892.

Does anyone know if any of the updates listed are KB4056892?

Please Help! Windows 10 Update 1709 keeps failing !!!

Are you supposed to run the .cab file everytime you want to run the show/hide tool?

I used the show/hide tool last night but the stupid 1709 update was already Re-downloading itself in the Windows Update. I went ahead an ran the show/hide update tool anyway and I checked the box for the 1709 update (it continued to download).

My question is: the Show/Hide update tool showed a bunch of pending updates (intel drivers etc) but I've never seen these updates come up in the Windows Update menu? Should I try and download these updates individually? Is there a way to globally download
and install these updates? Because Windows Update has not shown me the updates that the Show/Hide tool is showing.

 

Prevent the feature update to Windows 10, version 1709

The show hide/updates tool will only show 1709 if its a pending up thats ready to install.

Which version of Windows 10 is now installed on the computer?

 

None of them (unless the name is completely wrong).

KB4056892 is Januarys cumulative update and is described like this:





You sure you haven't installed it already?

EDIT: You could try this anyway Windows Update MiniTool

It is better than that MS troubleshooter for hiding updates.

 

Not installed, I checked.

The reason I am asking is because numerous places on the net, even one place on Ten Forums, said that you could use this tool to hide the update.

I read what MS said about the update and yes it does not say anything about meltdown, but MS also says to install the January update to protect against spectre and meltdown. KB4056892 is the January update for Win 10 1709.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...ectre-meltdown

This update breaks to many things (in particular Asus software) on to many computers so I do not want to install it on my home HEDT until it is all sorted out.

 

Hard for me to check if it works as I've installed it already but try WUMT (link above). I think it is clearer to use.

In any case you can only hide a update that is being offered - if Windows Update isn't offering it to you then you will not be able to hide it - that would apply both to WUMT or the MS troubleshooter...

You can disable the Spectre/Meltdown fixes via regedit even if you've installed the patch incidentally if that is the bit that concerns you Code: reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverride /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" /v FeatureSettingsOverrideMask /t REG_DWORD /d 3 /f[/quote]

 

You can only hide an update if it is one that shows as available for your machine. This particular update won't be shown as available until your AV has confirmed it is compatible with this update. This includes Defender, so to be able to see this update you must make sure Defender has been updated to the latest definitions. If you use a 3rd-party AV, check they have their latest updates.

Cumulative Update KB4056892 Windows 10 v1709 Build 16299.192 - Windows 10 Forums

 

Apparently Asus are working on that...

New version of ASUS AI Suite that works with KB4056892 availabe

 

That update appeared explicitly in the above list for me and it was easy to block. It appears the update has not been offered to you yet.

 

I don't use ai suite, i find it always conflicts with other software. I prefer cpu-z to get diagnostics. and a 3rd party monitoring program for temps. Argus monitor is my favorite and what I use, but there are more free and popular ones out there.

I routinely check for driver updates on the asus website. They pretty much have an update for almost everything right now.

I do use sonic studio and AURA and ramcache II which work fine after update.
