Updating to Windows 10 version 1803 freezes on the Windows logo upon reboot

I've tried using Windows Update, repairing Windows update, using Windows Media Tool to create a bootable USB for a clean install, unplugging all peripherals including mouse and keyboard, reseting BIOS settings to defaults. No matter what I try, when booting to setup after installation through Windows Update, or when booting from the USB ISO the system hangs on the Windows logo for hours with no spinning dots and no hard drive activity. All I can do it hit the reset button. When trying to install via Windows Update and having to do a hard reset when it locks up, the resulting error code I find is 0xc1900101.

    Non-Asus X58 PC affected.

    My 2-generation-old PC (now my wife's) had the same issue.  (As old as it is, it's surprising how good of a machine it still is.)

    i920 3.6 GHz OC

    ASRock X58 Extreme

    BIOS P2.90 (last update, 2011)

    Boot Device Adata SX900 (256 GB) SSD

    6GB Triple-Channel (remember that?) RAM 667 GHz XMP

    AMD R9 280

    Would hang on Windows logo on the 1803 update until VT-d switched off.  Since I'm not running any VMs on that system I can just leave it off.

    BTW, Hyper-V is disabled.  I thought at first that since VT-d is for VM and Hyper-V is enabled by default on a clean installation (I believe) that it might be an issue but this PC was upgraded and it wasn't on.

    I wasted several hours on this before discovering the VT-d fix.  Don't you love being a de facto Unpaid Windows Beta Tester?

    Microsoft needs to hot-fix this.

    Hi there Tiran Dagan you are lucky to have suceeded in Updating your ASUS P6T Deluxe to the latest 1803 Version of Win 10!

    Just curious to know if the difficulty with the latest Update is a specific problem with those members using the P6T Deluse motherboard, as there  have been other memebers with similar issues with freezing during their updates.

    The fact that you have to disable the VT-d in the BIOS of your board b4 you can succesfully boot after the Update would suggest that the problem is the P6T Deluxe board rather than the 1803 Win Update? If this is the case then those still running this board should contact ASUS for a possible software fix? I understand this particular board came out about 8years or so ago, 2008? and I was given to understand that there were a few issues with it prompting ASUS to produce a replacement board, the ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 model, which is still available to day?

    Anyway, so those still running the P6T Deluxe ( not the P6T Deluxe V2 ) should read your post and follow what you did to your board to be able to install and run the Win 10 Update Version 1803

    successfully....great job!

    I disabled VT-d to no avail on the reboot during updating. I left it disabled for several days attempting to get the update to work without success. After having other hardware issues, I turned VT-d back on and the hardware issues have since stopped. I am still unable to successfully run the 1803 update without it locking up during the reboot process.
