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'm currently installing it in an Asus G752VY

    Same problem here. I'm trying that now.

    I had the same problem with the previous Windows update, had to do a clean install.

    Now, let's see if this solution works. I will let you know.

    Regards,

    Manuel.

    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!

    After a couple of tedious tries I decided to permanently skip 1803 (using wushowhide.diagcab, keeping it hidden )

    I have 3 more PCs where the upgrade worked and its hard to tell the difference. This particular box has limited functions and I'll just wait until the next build comes out.

    This particular upgrade takes a long time to run, if people could charge Microsoft $5/h for downtime, Windows Update would bankrupt the company.
