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.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
No need to resort to name calling, i was simply trying to help you guys that are less tech savvy along in your quest for a broken operating system. No one is twisting your arm. If you feel like you "need" windows, by all means stick with it. Who knows perhaps one day in the future they will finally make one that works. You have a great evening now.
go back to the time you belong, troll (2002?).
it's boring.
It is not the solution for Microsoft, they can't even figure that out. But migrating to GNU/Linux and using different software or in most cases the same software is easy peasy for anyone with a rudimentary understanding of the computer. You must be one of those die hard Microsoft fans. Well, good luck to you with all this "upgrading". Every time Microsoft tries to make "improvements" to the system, they end up setting it back. They hardly ever advance in anything except for the difficulty in getting you pc upgraded. You have to jump through hoops and bend over backwards to get it working. They should just stop and make what they have function, and then leave it alone when and if they ever get ahead. If Linux is so bad, then perhaps you can tell me why all the Supercomputers in the world, the banks, and the government computers, actually all computers that are of importance, use Linux instead of Windows?? The reasons are many, as you probably know. Give up on the worthless Microsoft products. Use you time to enjoy computing instead of the pc giving you a headache.
He, like most must have given up on installing the update. I have good advice for him. Eliminate the headache and switch to GNU/Linux. Updates every time on time and never give you any trouble.
That's not a great advice when you have most or all of the software running only under Windows. Besides, it's not a solution.
