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.

    :-)

    I poured through discussion groups mentioning difficulty with VT-d. Are you using VMware too? That's probably the only reason to keep it on for higher performance virtualization, as far as I know.

    May I ask how on earth you tracked this to VT-d?  Worked great for me as well, but that seems unguessable to me!

    I have the same problem with an HP z200 workstation. I watched my machine spin for 5 hours before looking around for a possible issue. Disabling VT-d did the trick immediately.

    I use VMWare quite a bit and am unsure if disabling this feature will slow down VM operation or make shared devices unusable; at present I find that networking continues to perform, but I have not tested printers or other external devices.

    usoft needs to get on this!!!

    Hi there Tiran Dagan you are lucky to have suceeded in Updating your ASUS P6T Deluxe to the latest 1803 Version of Win 10!

    Just curious to know if the difficulty with the latest Update is a specific problem with those members using the P6T Deluse motherboard, as there  have been other memebers with similar issues with freezing during their updates.

    The fact that you have to disable the VT-d in the BIOS of your board b4 you can succesfully boot after the Update would suggest that the problem is the P6T Deluxe board rather than the 1803 Win Update? If this is the case then those still running this board should contact ASUS for a possible software fix? I understand this particular board came out about 8years or so ago, 2008? and I was given to understand that there were a few issues with it prompting ASUS to produce a replacement board, the ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 model, which is still available to day?

    Anyway, so those still running the P6T Deluxe ( not the P6T Deluxe V2 ) should read your post and follow what you did to your board to be able to install and run the Win 10 Update Version 1803

    successfully....great job!
