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.

    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.

    Right now we have a 100% success rate from 1709 to 1803 after the media was offline patched with the latest updates.

    The downside is that the upgrade takes around one hour now instead of 40 mins with the unpatched media.

    We have around 13 000 computers that's scheduled to update this year so we dont have much time to test 1809 at the moment.

    I asked you earlier to state the computer specs, but you didn't answer. Can you please at least say what cpu is running (and maybe the chipset) please?

    The latest servicing stack update and the latest cumulative update solved the VT-d problem for us in 1803.

    After the install and a reboot we could enable VT-d without any problem.

    We also update a machine from 1709 to 1803 after KB4486996 and KB4485448 without deactivating VT-d with success.

    So, for 1709 you need KB4486996 and KB4485448.

    For 1803 you need KB4485449 and KB4487017

    Ok, so, I tried to install a fresh new 1803 x64 into my i7 920 6 gb ram asrock x58 supercomputer geforce gtx560 and the 2 kb fix, but it didn't work.
