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!

Why don’t you both go ahead and switch to Linux? Then we wont have to read your whining on this forum anymore. It’s a win-win!

I have tried just about everything and it just refuses. My next attempt will be a clean install on a different hard drive. Windiws 10 is proving to be worse than Vista. If this doesn't work it will be Linux from now on.
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.
