Problems with updating in Windows 10

The problem seems to have occurred especially in users with AMD. Some have seen how after installing this patch correctly, restarting the computer did not start. It was hanging and showing an error message 0x800f0845. The user who has experienced the most problems had AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ hardware with an ASUS motherboard. So it could happen on other computers with AMD.

Microsoft has not acknowledged issues with this security patch so far. They simply comment that the error that some users suffer is a compatibility problem with some processors. But, the company has not offered any solution. So many users do not know very well what to do.

At the moment, the most logical seems to postpone the installation of the security patch in Windows 10. At least the users with AMD hardware, since it seems that they are the ones that suffer the most problems. We hope that the company publishes some solution to this failure.
