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!

    Hello Kapil Arya,

    It is true that 0xC1900101 is generic error code pointing to driver  incompatibility.

    On some older computers issue can not be solved with simple driver upgrade. In my case, Asus MBO with Intel proc. and AMI BIOS upgrade went well after disabling virtualization options in BIOS.
