Need help upgrading to Windows 11 pro 24H2 form 23H2 0xc1900101 error

I have been trying to upgrade my PC Windows 11 Pro from 23H2 (build 22631.5262) to 24H2 for several months. The upgrade downloads but always fails with the 0xc1900101 error.

My pc meets all of the hardware requirements as per the Microsoft PC Health Check App. My system uses a Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. H470M DS3H -CF mother board, 2.90 gigahertz Intel Core i5-10400- 64 bit, 1.09 TB HDD, drive 0 15.85 Gigabytes Usable Memory, c: (NTFS on drive 0) , 1.09 TB 855.87 GB free. UEFI: American Megatrends Inc. F4 08/28/2020. All of the security update have been installed. All of the drivers have been updated. Memory integrity is on and there are no drivers listed in the vulnerable driver blocklist.

I disconnect the pc from the Internet/Router before running the update. Disconnected the old scanner and deleted the drivers and programs. Removed the Logitec 300 camera and deleted all of the drivers. Run the update troubleshooter. Run FSC and DISM. Reset Windows update components, all several times.

I have looked at C:$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther and opened setupact.log or setuperr.log to see where the update fails, but do not understand what I am looking for the failure.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Please share your Farbar scan logs. Will request the setup logs later.

    Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool 64-bit (FRST64.exe)

    https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/farbar-recovery-scan-tool/

    (or)

    https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mbst-frst64

    Note: If Microsoft Edge or Chrome mislabels the Farbar Scanner executable as PUA/malware, choose to keep it by tapping … in the bottom bar, choosing Keep, and then choosing Keep anyway in the dialog that appears.

    See this screenshot: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/media/microsoft-edge-security-download-interruptions/dowload-was-blocked.png. It's a safe tool used in most antimalware forums.

    If the OS language is not English, rename FRST64.exe to FRST64English.exe.

    Run the program. Don't check or uncheck any options. Click "Scan".

    Add the two logs, FRST.txt and Addition.txt, to a Zip archive, share them on OneDrive or GoFile.io and post the link here.

    Hi Lewis.

    Thanks. Please do the following:

    1. Uninstall all EaseUS software after creating a system backup. You can install the software later if needed.
    2. Uninstall Malwarebytes. The MBAM support tool can be used for that purpose. Uninstall and reinstall Desktop Security with the Support Tool – Malwarebytes Help Center.
    3. Update the BIOS for your motherboard. The latest available BIOS is F25 - Dec 20, 2023
    1. Share the setup logs. The following batch file collects the setup logs and saves the zip file to your desktop.

    Download setuplogscollect.bat and save it to the desktop.

    https://gist.github.com/winhelponline/26b28c4b695d183a842fbd1d5182959e

    Right-click on the downloaded file and click Properties. Click "Unblock" and click OK.

    Extract the batch file to the desktop.

    Right-click on the file and choose "Run as administrator"

    It outputs a SetupLogs.zip file on your desktop.

    Share the file on OneDrive or GoFile.io and post the download link here.

    (The batch file contains plain text code. You can read its contents using Notepad before running it. It collects the setup logs, msinfo32.exe log, drivers list, boot configuration info, and the compatibility appraiser results from your system.)

    1. Clean boot Windows using msconfig.exe.

    A clean boot is the process of starting Windows without loading third-party apps and services. Please see this Microsoft article for more information.

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows - Microsoft Support:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-da2f9573-6eec-00ad-2f8a-a97a1807f3dd

    (Step 3 in the above link is crucial. You need to first enable "Hide all Microsoft Services" before clicking "Disable all".)
