Hello,

0xC1900101 is generic error code and points to driver incompatibility while you opt to upgrade. You need to read the dialog, which likely came before this error message. There should be additional information with the detail. The dialog will tell you what devices are having a problem. That is the one you need to get a new driver for. 

Once you fixed the driver(s) mentioned with detail, the error will no longer persist.

Hope this helps!

    Same problem here. I had it before, with another major update. The only solution that time was a clean install, which took me about two-three days of backing-up and restore all apps, configs, etc. And even with that I lost things in the way. So I've learned the lesson, and I've disabled Windows Update in Services.

    Microsoft, next time you say that "is critical to keep your systems updated", remember that you are the reason why thousands of users are deciding not to do it.

    I've postponed it for 35 days, though the same issue has happened 5 months ago with the previous fall update.

    The only solution was a clean install... I'm not convinced that it will work after 1 month.

    I will wait and see. But I believe the issue with this upgrade is the same one, and it wasn't solved. It's something related to the installer.

    I wonder if I will have to do a clean install every 6 months when a new major update comes through.

    I'm currently installing it in an Asus G752VY

    Same problem here. I'm trying that now.

    I had the same problem with the previous Windows update, had to do a clean install.

    Now, let's see if this solution works. I will let you know.

    Regards,

    Manuel.
