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.

    None of these options work for me.

    It's getting seriously frustrating. My computer is CONSTANTLY trying to automatically download the update 1803 and failing to install it, every time it happens I have to restart my computer and wait for it to fail to install (gets as far as about 54% and then decides to undo the update).

    There HAS to be a way around this.

    First disable any power saving on the computer using Settings - Power.  That should prevent the stall, which may be due to the computer shutting down rather than finishing the download and install process.  Then try one more time.  If it does not work, go to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4027322/windows-update-troubleshooter.  download and run the troubleshooter and try again.

    Good luck.

    Please do not write bullshits like that in this topics. This troubleshooter is a very old one and was thousends times failed to help - similarly like the other tips written here.

    Just the moment I am "standing in queue" for the 3rd level Microsoft support with this problem

    I am personally waiting for a general solution from the side of Microsoft technicians:  new "feature UpDate" ????

    I don't have any power saving settings turned on.. it's a tower PC and is on performance mode. Will try the troubleshooter again.

    Well Microsoft continue to put out failed Operating System updates. Version 1809 has just been released (with additional bugs looking at the latest complaints) and guess what - they still haven't fixed what was causing failures previously. 1803 doesn't install and 1809 does the EXACT same thing with EXACT same error.

    Microsoft whatever you have done to the most basic of boot processes is WRONG.

    If I went out and bought Windows 10 with update 1803 or 1809 on a USB or DVD and attempted to install - it wouldn't.

    It does not even get past the initial boot phase to even present the option to select region and keyboard settings. Just sits there like the piece of crap software it is proving to be with the pathetic blue Microsoft logo and nothing else.

    Your pre-boot environment is FLAWED from Update 1803 onwards. Whatever change you made from 1709 to 1803 in the pre-boot (Supposed "SAFE" OS phase) is flawed.

    So if 1803 didn't install for you - don't even waste your precious time with the failure that is 1809.
