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!

    I had a blue screen after the second reboot with the enterprise edition and going back to the old version. At my older Fujitsu-Laptop I disconnected the second screen and all USB-devices. During the first shutdown I let the laptop turn off and then it worked all fine.

    This is the 3rd time this year Microsoft updates have stopped me using my PC.

    I have had a laptop tanked by updates this year, and now presumably, they are trying to

    tank my PC. 

    I used to love Microsoft, but this is unacceptable. 

    What if I buy a new computer, not so great for the environment, who guarantees updates will not

    have problems and destroy that computer. 

    I'm pretty computer literate, and am appalled that the testing before releasing an updates is so poor.

    Look at all the people reporting problems on this update alone.

    My computer was working great yesterday, now it's a drag just to get it turned back on.

    I am writing this just in case Microsoft does not understand how much damage they are are doing to their reputation.

    Would love to just get on with my work.

    After about five tries at the 1803 update removing AV etc. I switched off the Intel virtualization tech in the BIOS and everything worked like a dream!

    Did you switched it back on after the installation ?

    And nobody said that I can't reactivate the Intel Virtualization Technology anymore. If I do so, my computer hangs while trying to start Windows. Even the recovery feature have stuck (it tried to activate automatically after a second restart). I deactivated again that IVT and the computer started just fine.

    In my case I don't need IVT, but for some of you (with virtual OSs) it can be a show stopper.
