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

Anonymous

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.

Are there other tweaks in BIOS to be able to update to Win10 ?

For now you'll have to go into your bios setup and disable VT-d virtualization. That will prevent the black screen.
