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?

    Retry installation

    You might also try Safe Mode with Networking to install Windows 8.1

    I followed the registry instructions you linked to above and it says "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"

    If I did it right then the problem is internet explorer. Since that isn't a third party app, what should I do?

    The Component Object Model (COM) infrastructure tried to start the named server; however, the server did not reply within the required timeout period. There might be a deadlock, or the program might not have responded to the server initialization code within the timeout period of two minutes.

    Perform a clean boot.  You can follow the directions to determine if a third-party app is causing the issue.  You might also retry installing while in clean boot mode.  Remember to return the system to normal startup when finished.

    I saw nothing about a thermal shutdown but I did see "The server {03E64E17-B220-4052-9B9B-155F9CB8E016} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout." I checked and this would have happened at the time my computer crashed. What does it mean?
