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 with an up-to-date system.

    I wonder why a clean install doesn't have issues though.

    Very good. It is always good to do quick fix #8 even when there is nothing to fix, I think.

    It is written in the Bible that an upgrade is a migration of files, drivers & settings through the wilderness with Moses that takes 40 years, but a clean install is everything new & takes only 7 seven days with plenty of rest on the seventh day. But they possibly measured time differently back then. Anyway, I've had an upgrade that took a tad over an hour & two clean installs that took only 24 minutes apiece.

    Glad your clean install was a success.

    I have this error also 0xc1900101, I pressed the pause update for 35 days. Should be enough time to order a mac book pro.

    After having to reinstall windows 14 times in less than a year, losing dozens of hours every month, and hundreds since the windows 10 change, I ordered a Mac Book Pro yesterday an, then changed 2 of 3 existing machines to Ubuntu. I'm tired of being a beta tester and having updates shoved down my throat, and then when there is a problem the solution always comes down to having to do a clean install, like it's no big deal; This would be unacceptable in any other industry. Maybe when Microsoft starts losing hundreds of millions in the class action lawsuits that are springing up everywhere they will learn a lesson!

    Where, and to whom, do I send the invoice for time, lost wages, and pain and suffering associated to the April, 2018 update of Widows 10. I notified Microsoft by Email, Twitter, and Phone that I no longer wanted to recieve updates, and even turned off the Windows Update Service, yet somehow the April update made it's way through anyway, causing me significant distress.

    Please take this notice seriously, as the next one will be from my attorney!

    Sincerely

    JS. Dittmann
