A number of AMD PC users say they can’t boot after installing Microsoft’s Windows 10 Meltdown-Spectre patch.

Microsoft’s Windows patch for the Meltdown and Spectre attack methods is reportedly causing problems for users with AMD Athlon CPUs.

According to a number of complaints on Microsoft’s community forum, the problems are appearing on Athlon systems that received the update for the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, labelled KB4056892.

The initial reporter said after installing the update the PC only displayed the Windows logo and otherwise failed to boot. The update was delivered though Windows Update.
