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!

    Thanks a lot! After tearing my hair out for a bit when the usual stuff wasn't working, I was about to perma-pause the update and worry about it when it got to be EOL time for 1709. Saw your post, figured it was something quick to try, so I hopped into the BIOS ands switched off Virtualization. *poof* No more update problems. Now if only I could get Windows to stop replacing the custom keyboard driver I have repeatedly told it not to update or replace...

    I've switched off virtualization before. Didn't work.

    Apparently, the problem on my side is common with a range of ASUS laptops.

    Dell XPS 17 L series laptop. 1803 installs, reboots, then froze and shuts down (auto-power off) during the 2nd reboot. 

    Upon turning on, Windows rolled back the 1803 install, then we're back where we started. 

    Came here, learned that on the Dell's I need to turn off the virtualization. So went into the BIOS and turned it off. Then restarted. Forced the 1803 update to install. Took almost an hour, but that's all done. I didn't bother turning the virtualization thing back on.

    KaseyChang,

    Unless you use or create virtual machines or do resource sharing over the network, e.g. using a desktop with its more powerful processor to compile video over the network while working and doing the physical editing from a less powerful laptop, you don't and won't need the Intel Virtualization Technology feature turned back on.

    Also, it's not just Dell computers with this issue; I built mine from all individual retail parts, so there's not a Dell, HP, or similar prefab component in my system. Hopefully others will see these posts and give it a whirl before trying that Russian novel sized solution above, lol.
