Sorry, you lost me there, no idea what that means.

Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
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.

I have continued to have this exact issue since the early beta roll out of this build. Machine does not have VT-d enabled, I have disabled or disconnected everything except the monitor, keyboard, mouse and HHD-1. I've dropped the RAM expansion that was preformed over a year ago. This distinctly appears to be a problem with the update itself. I have booted to a minimal boot configuration and it still locks up at the splash screen on the update reboot. I have used the update repair tool and it locks up at the splash screen on the update reboot.
Microsoft, in it's infinite wisdom, no longer even allows us to disable updates from occurring. Now we can only delay it for a few days and then have to go through the entire process of download, install and lock up once again at that point.
There appears to be too many people having this problem for it to be anything other than an issue with this particular build.
5 resets this week. Its getting beyond a joke.

Hi there Bob thanks for the reply regarding 'System Freezing during Installing Win10 Version 1803, April 2018 Update
I elected to go to MS Website and used the Win 10 'Update Assistant' to download and install the Update rather than waiting for the usual regular Win 10 Update. The other option to Update was to use the 'Media Creation Tool' of course. Beauty about this was the initial scan of your system by MS to make sure your system was capable to be Updated with Win 10, Version 1803 before the update. I had Win 10, Version 1607 before the Update to Version 1803.
I had no problem at all and the system restarted several times during the Update without any freezing at all!
I suspect that those that experience problem with the latest Version 1803 Update with freezing, must have had some internal problem ( software or hardware configuration) with their systems prior to the Update and would benefit from following the Update method I used to update their systems?
My build: ASUS P6T Deluxe, 24GB DDR3 G Skill, Intel Core i7 990X CPU, Boot Drive Crucial MX500 1 TB, Storage, Seagate 4TB, Win 10 Version 1607 prior to the Update
Hi there Seth-N-Michel it is frustrating when a simple process of Updating a system fails for unknown reason. Would appear from reading various posts that a fair number of customers have had problem with the latest Win Update 1803?
Not known if they also had problem with previous Win Updates?
I elected to go to MS and do my latest Win 10 Update to version 1803 from Version 1603 using the 'Win 10 Update Assistant' rather than waiting for the usual Win 10 Update process.
The beauty about this method is that the Update Assistant will scan your system to see if it is capable to be Updated to the latest Win 10 Version 1803. It did not take long for this scan to complete before the download and install will begin.
The download and install will take time with a number of restarts and you just have to be patient b4 it is completed?
I did not have any problem at all, no freezing or blue screens during the Update process until completion!
The other win 10 Update method is to use the 'Media Creation Tool' that is also available as an alternative process that others have used?
My impression is that those who have had issues with the latest Win 10 Update with Version 1803 must have had some internal issues with their systems, either software or hardware configuration/conflict, preventing a straightforward Win 10 Update to the latest Version 1803 of Win 10?
My build: ASUS P6T Deluxe V2, Win 10 Version 1603, Boot Drive Crucial MX 500 1TB, Memory: 24GB G Skill DDR.3, Storage Seagate 4TB
It would be worthwhile to try the Update method I used and see it works for you?
