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 like your enthusiasm but think it may have just been the luck of the draw and/or, a driver or something else that got updated which helped it to get over the hump... Just tried updating several times last night with a resound fail each and every time.
It's been proven time and time again there's no "one size that fits all" in regards to fixes for these errors, there is way too many variables involved.
And MS may have fixed something or some things but I'll guarantee it won't be a resolve for the majority experiencing issues installing this update.
Hi Guys,
I turned off Windows 10 updates for the maximum 35 days (i think it is), and then
let windows do its special update recently. This let me get on with things
without Update 1803 causing problems.
After the 35 days, It has now successfully finished update 1803, and installed every update since.
So, Microsoft has now found the issue and fixed it, but probably should have tested it a bit more before release.
Let's hope that it's all smooth sailing from now on.
Been going through this with multiple PCs w/varying configurations ever since Mocrosoft's feature updates have become a thing, it's getting downright tiring now especially when the fail rate for me has been in the 90% range. Since 1987 haven't "fresh installed" the OS on so many computers, so much for advancement in technology... I'd be rich if we could recoup the costs associated with the hours/days spent going the motions in attempts to resolve. A means to suspend feature updates indefinitely would be nice yet doubt that will be an option if MS has their way. As with many others here were on our way to dumping Windows 10 altogether, already have in some instances using Linux/Mac OS and/or, reverting some of my computers to Win7. Maybe one day MS will figure it out yet doubtful if the past three years are any indication.
Do you think you’re the first person to com on this site and threaten to switch to Mac/Linux? There’s one of you in almost every thread. And I’ll invite you to please: go ahead. Switch to Linux on your desktops. And stink up *their* forums with your whining from now on.
Thanks!
