Thought this was quite comical!
From Microsoft:
"This non-security update includes improvements and fixes that were a part of Monthly Rollup KB4015549 (released April 11, 2017) and also includes these new quality improvements as a preview of the next Monthly Rollup update:
Addressed issue to improve the reliability of dual-controller storage systems.
Addressed issue that prevents V2 Message Queuing (MSMQ) performance counters from returning data after a clustered resource failure or failover.
Addressed issue to updated time zone information.
Known issues in this update
Symptom Workaround / Resolution
If the PC uses an AMD Carrizo DDR4 processor, installing this update will block downloading and installing future Windows updates. Microsoft is working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release."

Well, how are we going to get it then - if we can't download and install future updates?
Go and get it and install ourselves I suppose!

I could start a flame war by saying that "this is why some don't like AMD" but I won't.

Now now, this could just as easily have happened to an Intel processor.

(It totally wouldn't have but it's still possible!)

Guess that means we'll start seeing a bunch of W7 systems come through later this year that haven't been updated since April.

I don't follow AMD anymore. Is that a recent CPU from them?

New-ish. Came out in 2015 originally. My guess is it was blocked as part of the "oh, we're not going to release updates for new processors anymore on W7" gambit that MS is pulling.

Yep, more of MicroSh-t reneging on its support promises.
