Default KB4056894 not included in today's bunch of updates

Seven new updates from MS today but the problem KB4056894 is not among
them. Are these safe to install?

1) Backup
2) Install
3) Test

or alternately...

1) Enable System Restore
2) Manually set a restore point with a good text name for later.
3) Install
4) Test

One of those patches, could be a redesigned '894.

I believe Microsoft is now blocking the patch for KB4056894 on PCs with
AMD proceesors because it created severe problems. See
https://it.slashdot.org/story/18/01/09/1445253/microsoft-pauses-rollout-of-spectre-and-meltdown-patches-to-amd-systems.


As for how fixing the Meltdown and Spectre bugs affects performance, see

Office hours are 9AM to 5PM.

There is always tomorrow for the lawsuit.

The user "Cameo" has already fixed his, using a rescue
CD to get to Command Prompt, and a couple offline-flavor DISM commands.
You can back out the bad update. Offline refers to "/image:c:"
argument, which allows applying the fix to an "OS at rest".
In this situation, the boot drive is X: and C: is the
actual drive letter of the OS being repaired at the time.
(A happy coincidence.)

"I was able to use the original Win7 install DVD in Repair Mode
that gave my DOS command window where I entered:

DISM /image:c:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions

Because the corrupt package was not installed completely
I was able to use this shorter DISM command instead of the longer

DISM /image:c:\ /remove-package /packagename: etc. command.
"

I did just that. The backup took most of my afternoon but the patches
installed and tested out fine.

System restore may/may not be available for use depending on the
exact nature of the OS instability which can be introduced by the
update. Instead, I'd recommend imaging the system as a whole and
reverting to the image if you run into a problem. That way, you're
practically guaranteed not to lose anything other than a little time
to restore the image.

13 new ones here, without KB4056894; and the processor is Intel.

All installed successfully, plus another .NET framework one which
followed in their wake.
Still no sign of the KB4056894.

I used Windows backup with system image included. Took forever with my
USB-2 backup drive. I was just thinking how would I be able to restore
it from that USB-2 drive if I had to do it from cmd windoe that does not
have the USB driver for it?

I think KB4056894 applies only to AMD CPUs.
