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.

    Yeah probably something cryptic you'll need to do to get even the latest 1809 update to install. Finally, got it to install on my older PC by disabling all virtualization options in the bios. At least for owners of PC's with Intel audio latest version is blocked from installing so it won't brick your PC. Seems to be only notable change. But like I said before if it's failing to install properly probably best to block it from trying to update your PC cuz it's probably just going to hose up or brick your PC DOH!

    Microsoft, since the beginning, has been a very shaky platform. Just think back a few years when windows 95 came out. what a nightmare. They keep moving on but the problems persist. Every time I have a stable system, they come along and screw it up again. Lately, I have been spending more time fixing the system than actually doing any work. Thank God I did not buy this crap.

    You are so correct about the boot problems. Some machines will, others will not, some get to the oobe screen and you can't get past there. oops, something went wrong, try again or skip. you can skip up until you get to accounts, then, well, game over. Fix it Microsoft, or don't release the thing running on one cylinder. Get ur done.

    Good luck. I am a tech and have several machines sitting here now that no longer function after an attempted update. Microsoft is a big headache. And the sad thing is that I can't seem to fix um anymore. Nor can I get some of the machines to do a clean install, It just shows that stupid Microsoft icon, nothing more happens.  This is out of hand. They are supposed to be making things better but it is apparent they are not. Too bad I can't convince more people to switch to Linux.

    I have the same problem. After five hours the upgrade bombed with a black screen. I waited for two more hours manually rebooted and ended up back where I started. I had the same problem with the previous "creator's" upgrade. It took me more than six months before it finally installed without incident. Not one of your solutions worked. Frankly most of them were like going around my elbow to scratch my ass.   I am not going through the same death march with this one. Microsoft, fix the damn problem and stop coercing me. I will treat this as a virus and will try every effort to block it, unless you can guarantee it will "install" in a reasonable time. Don't send me to support the last time they really screwed up my system. I am not dragging my computer to your storefront. The only reason the prior creator's update succeeded is that it just did one day, without any explanation on your part.

    Right now. Our team is aware of this issue and our engineering team is working full time to have this resolved and sorted out, rest assured that your device will receive the update patch once our engineers have rolled it out as soon as possible, for now I would highly suggest that we wait for the said update because troubleshooting the issue at this time may cause more harm than good.

    ah this is good to now, so bad file upgrade is the problem?

    Me

    why not go back to windows that did work?

    Agent

    ah this is good to now, so bad file upgrade is the problem? -Unfortunately yes. That is why it comes from our engineers to wait for the upgrade to finally fix the issue.

    Agent

    Also, you can help us to hasten the update by posting a feedback in the feedback hub.

    Me

    okay give me link to that?

    Agent

    Actually it is an app from Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/feedback-hub/9nblggh4r32n#activetab=pivot:overviewtab

    Me

    Unfortunately they didn't give any date but I can assure you that they are doing their best to fix the bug on the update.

    Me
