Hi,

I downloaded the update 8.1, tried to install but not succeed. Always after restart, about 7% or more it shut down and rolled back to Win 8. Error codes are 0xC1900101 and 0x2000C. I saw on some forums that it was because the hard disk is encrypted, so I deactivated BitLocker but always the same errors. That is very frustrated. Hat someone the same issue? Any ideas to solve this problem?

    I got it to work! I am almost certain the problem was overheating although there was nothing on the log about it. I propped my laptop up so it would have better air flow and the update went through. I had done an attempt a few hours before that failed so the only difference between the success and the fail was the airflow.

    Was there more to the message than error 2000c?  Ex:  analog input canot display this video mode,when the computer restarts I get error message 0xc1900101-0x2000c

    I am back to the 2000c error. I had the 20017 error twice but I did again today and now I have this. My computer must have some weird issues.

    I almost solved the problem! I decided to update my synaptics touch pad driver yesterday. I remember it from the Toshiba Website but it always gave me a failed to install error. A little research later and I got the driver installed. I tested the update and have the 20017 error and I believe Microsoft is working on a fix for it.
