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.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
None of the generic instructions work for most machines. They only work on a few. Those that truly have a problem are out of luck. I have been trying to upgrade to 1809 since it came out. The process only takes away from my workday. I use Linux for all but games now.
I have tried all that. I can't even do a clean install the machine will not reboot when it needs too after the installation is halfway finished. The hard drive just sits there and spins, and stuck on icon. No matter what you do, it will not go in. Now, yesterday, windows update downloaded the update again, although it has been paused and took up a lot of my disk space more or less 15 gigs. and it is just sitting there saying needs a reboot to install, but when the machine is rebooted, it does nothing. I will just leave it as it is as the system is useless just like all os from Microsoft have been.
Thank you for your suggestions. In my multiple tries to get going with the update from version 1709 to 1803 in the past , I do recall, but not exactly, having gone along the route outlined in the first part of your suggestion, without success. I even downloaded version 1803 from a Windows website, had it successfully installed and used for just over a week where-after Windows Update {WU) overwrote it and sent me back to version 1709. Thereafter when I attempted to install it for the 2nd time from my USB drive, WU returned a message that it was an incorrect version.
WU,, it seems, wants me to stick to version 1709, because it has been providing updates for version 1709 right up to the present day. For example, just about half an hour ago, the following appeared on my WU window:
"• 2019-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x86-based Systems (KB4486996)
Status: Awaiting restart."
Although the update is dated for February 2019, it was downloaded today when I opened Windows Update. You will observe that they are providing updates to version 1709 right up to at least February this year. This seems to indicate that if one has version 1709, one should stick to it seeing that 1709 is being kept up to date.
Having expended a considerable amount of time and effort, without any joy, I have decided to let Windows Update do its thing.
Your effort to assist is much appreciated. Many thanks.
This is all you can do because in this forum you will find no real help. You need to be speaking to the engineers, but you can't. They may fix this in the next update in April, that is my hope. If it were Linux we could get the source and fix it ourselves.
I can only hope that the engineers at Microsoft who develop the updates do set aside some time to take note of the content of websites such as the current one, since it is the right thing to do, in order to provide a better service to its customers.
