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've postponed it for 35 days, though the same issue has happened 5 months ago with the previous fall update.

    The only solution was a clean install... I'm not convinced that it will work after 1 month.

    I will wait and see. But I believe the issue with this upgrade is the same one, and it wasn't solved. It's something related to the installer.

    I wonder if I will have to do a clean install every 6 months when a new major update comes through.

    You could try the recommendations of MarkinWPG of April 28, 2018 to block the update until all the bugs are exorcised. Here is the Microsoft Community link:

    It didn't work for me... Neither disabling all intel related stuff in the BIOS.

    I'm quite disappointed.
