Move over to GNU/Linux. There is never a problem with updates, and if by chance you did suffer one, you alone can fix the problem as the source is freely available. I use Windows for very little now.

I am unable to install The Windows 10 Feature update to OS version 1803(from version 1709) on my PC.
It is giving 0xc1900101 error. I have all the latest drivers on my PC. The current OS build of my PC is 16299.371.
After each failure, the update gets downloaded again and it has failed 5 times.
I would be grateful if someone could please help.

Microsoft should really be ashamed.

2019-01-24T22:31:07+00:00 I have tried over 20 times without any joy to upgrade from version 1709 to 1803. Microsoft Update is going in circles, downloading, attempting to install, failing to install and then calling for a download again, of the same version. The message reads:
"The latest feature update to Windows is ready to install. It has been waiting for you to kick it off. These improvements help Windows to run smoothly and securely. Select the option to kick it off."
After my 10th try or about there I downloaded the version 1803 into my USB drive and successfully installed version 1803 off line and it worked without any issues. However about a week later Windows Update, to me dismay considering the time I already lost, overwrote version 1803 and took me back to version 1709. Thereafter it will not allow me to to install version 1803 from my USB drive. Are some employees of Microsoft playing games? The situation is grossly unfair and has cost me lots in data and my professional time. Microsoft, please will you respond to this untenable situation.

2019-01-04T22:19:19+00:00 I use Linux Mint and parrot os for penetration testing, and updates come as much as every 6 hours, and never once have I suffered a broken system. I also code with python, so I know the hardships involved in writing code that plays nice with every single machine. But, Linux has it together.

2019-01-04T20:26:00+00:00 I also gave up early after the newest update came out. When it comes down to it 1803 essentially corrupted several files. Due to this problem windows can't proceeded with a full update. best thing to do is what I did. Get a secondary Hard drive. Save all your important stuff to it and do a fresh install. Just be sure to get the Software serial# before you do. Sorry for the problems you are having.
