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.

    Asus P6T Deluxe V2, latest (ehm) 1202 BIOS - I also confirm the issue and the workaround.

    Thanks for posting, I wasn't looking forward to updating from 1108 to 1202 just to test that :)

    I was able to fix the problem by disabling VT-d in my BIOS. As it stands, Windows 10 1803 will not boot if this is enabled.

    I have the same problem. Windows 1803 will not boot and hangs at the splash screen.

    I disconnected everything and even disconnected all the HDs in my computer and the disc will not boot either (also hangs at splash screen without the spinning circle). Computer is 100% frozen. CTRL+ALT+DEL won't work and pressing num lock will not toggle the light.

    Hard rebooted the system and went into the bios to disable VT-d (as per Seth_N_Michel's post) and now Windows Spring Creators Update (1803) boots without freezing from the disc and from rebooting after installing through the existing Windows install.

    Hope Microsoft will fix this issue soon! 

    After 2 weeks trying everything (basically only left mb and graphics card) and about to give up and stay on old rev I found this solution which really works, thank you guys. My Asus P6T had always worked fine until this latest April update.

    I booted my CPU with previous windows ISO and started just fine and with newest ISO stays on blue logo doing nothing so this really confirms it's an issue with the newest windows 1803 update.

    Disabling VT-d on my Asus P6T Deluxe V2 also did the trick for me. Otherwise 1803 just freezes on first boot after update at the Windows logo.

    I'm running BIOS version 1108, for the record. There's a slightly newer one available but the changes don't appear relevant.

    I have the same problem, cannot boot now in 1803 with VT-D enabled.

    I heavily use virtualization and many many things do not work without VT-D.

    Would love to know if this will ever be resolved, my motherboard is a bit older but this all worked fine in all previous releases. No bios update will be coming I can only hope Microsoft finds and resolved the issue for us.
