Thank you this worked for me
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.

2018-12-16T19:02:13+00:00 Yep, Linux is great. I use Parrot os for penetration testing and forensics, Linux mint for regular everyday chit. I Still have windows 10 on my machine, but, as you can see, can't upgrade it. This is an old machine and was running fine up until the 1809 update. Microsoft has yet to respond to this thread. I don't think they will.

2018-12-16T17:27:21+00:00 Hi,
great thread here. I've got the same Problem. (Asus X58 Mainboard).
The facts are clear: Update works with vt-d disabled.
I don't know who's fault it is - maybe both, MS and Asus f****d up. (But it worked until the Update with vt-d, and I hardly think, that Asus will bring a new Update for the Board)
My main question is a bit different. So it's almost a year now. Does MS intend to fix the Problem ? Or do they want people to switch to Linux ?
The Pro in the Version Title sounds more and more like a joke ...
I WANT vt-d, that's why I bought such a CPU. So either there will be a fix, or I'll disable Updates, as this is totally annoying,
or I'll have to switch to another OS which is actually working with vt-d ...

2018-12-12T18:55:43+00:00 Good day, that solution will not work for me. I have done everything under the sun, and i am tech, and can not install the 1809 update. This update downloads, installs, then wants to reboot. You reboot now, there she goes, through the bios screen then on to the windows 10 logo. At that point everything stops-keyboard, mouse, everything except the hard drive which you can hear running at maximum velocity. You can leave the machine all night long, but when you awaken in the morning, it is still unchanged. Please do not suggest any of the generic solutions, as I have been through every suggestion on the web. I have now given up on updating for now, putting it off for 180 days, or until Microsoft comes out with a newer version. I have even tried a clean installation and can't do that either, not with the 1809, it simply boots to the logo and will not proceed to install. No, nothing at all. If anyone at Microsoft has figured this out. please let me know. Thanks. Oh, its an old Toshiba laptop with a dual-core processor and 2 gigs of memory, it qualifies for the updates and has always updated in the past without so much as a burp.

Just forget all pseudospecialist and microsoft too for this problem and search with old geek for a real solution to the **** micro have done in 1803 all about vt-d and or vt-x virtualisation.
For you the solution is to just go in your bios at start of machine and disable an internal option vt-x and or vt-d (sometime reported as intel virtualisation tech" or similar.
and the problem is gone after that.
and thanbk to all Specialist whoi just says all time youll have to restart pc or its your fault like just buy another crap.
good chance
