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!
Here is a trail to follow...

Looking up the last 4 digits of 0x80070005 & 0x8024**0034,**the first looks like a permissions issue. I can't guess what the second means. I don't think I would do what it says...
| 0x00000005<br><br><br>ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED | Access is denied. |
|---|
| 0x00000034<br><br><br>ERROR_DUP_NAME | You were not connected because a duplicate name exists on the network. Go to System in Control Panel to change the computer name, and then try again. |

(4) If they exist: Use Disk Cleanup (ask Cortana) to delete $Windows.~BT, $Windows.~WS & Windows.old. Those will be in the categories "Windows update cleanup" & "Previous Windows installation(s)", after clicking "Clean up system files".
