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!
Very good. It is always good to do quick fix #8 even when there is nothing to fix, I think.
It is written in the Bible that an upgrade is a migration of files, drivers & settings through the wilderness with Moses that takes 40 years, but a clean install is everything new & takes only 7 seven days with plenty of rest on the seventh day. But they possibly measured time differently back then. Anyway, I've had an upgrade that took a tad over an hour & two clean installs that took only 24 minutes apiece.
Glad your clean install was a success.
I'm with an up-to-date system.
I wonder why a clean install doesn't have issues though.
The windows update supposed to fix the problems and improve the OS and security. Always when I see an update I keep my fingers crossed and hope that the update will install without any problems. I'm not a spiritual guy but never helps :P.
No seriously I got a laptop and a desktop pc. Because of the windows update problems I don't use the laptop for 1, 5 years now. Desktop pc I managed with lot of pain and lot of spending money to a pc repair store, to get the windows update installed. Now after 6 months update 1803 (sigh). I'm sick and tired of windows OS and with their updates. No wonder why people are buying mac books now. I agree it's time to say good bye to windows forever and buy apple products.
What about quick fix #8: Update firmware and drivers? What is the make & model of the computer? Have you gone to its site?
I would do all the quick fixes, &, if I felt enough had changed, I'd try the upgrade once more. But I'd do it manually from Installation Media.
