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!

    Asus GL702VM here. I am getting 0xc1900101 on Windows 10 ver 1803. I had the same issue for months with the ver 1709 update. Opened a ticket with Microsoft. They could not resolve it so I eventually had to do a clean install.

    Going to ignore this update for a while - its easier than doing yet another clean install....

    Same issue on my Asus N752. Solved problem disabling Vt-d option in bios. After update install successfully you can re-enable that option. Let me know if you solve with this trick.

    This is a whole day download.  I went through Troubleshoot update, and following a couple of error corrections, got a quick restart following what I took to be installation of a patch,  and at last it started to download, taking all day.  Installation took nearly an hour with numerous restarts.
