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!

    Hi,

    I can't really tell which of the below helped, but I managed to  install the update, after several tries where I also had that 0xc1900101 error message

    • I deactivated that Intel Virtualization in BIOS (as read on this forum thread) and started manually the upgrade from Microsoft update site.
    • During installing I observed that my antivirus raised some warnings and blocked the access to some of system files. So I also deactivated it during that install

    Install went fine to the end. Hope that helps some of you.

    Mihai

    That is weird enough. But I think 1803 is nice enough to give it one more try - the way I posted on page 1. I would interpret Quick fix #1 to include that external monitor...

    1. Remove nonessential external hardware, such as docks and USB devices.

    Looks like the upgrade couldn't handle the setting. Glad the rollback worked & apparently did handle it.

    This one is kinda weird. 

    When installing 1803, my old Dell Laptop (with a second display) went through one iteration on the primary screen (which is the external monitor), reboots, went through another iteration on the internal screen, then managed to turn itself OFF. When I turned it back on, it rolled-back the install and I'm prompted to do it again.

    Idalino G.,

    Install Linux and you will be happy. No bugs, etc. Good idea. Gracias.

    I don't think that there exists such thing as a software with no bugs.

    This is why the Linux community appears suspicious to me ;-)
