Tried many times to update WIn11 23H2 to 24H2. Gets to a certain point and rolls back. Error 0x1900101. Tried so many things online, but this seems to be a generic error and it does not help. No clue where to turn to fix it at this point. Can someone help?

    You may uninstall VIPRE Advanced Security (if it's still installed) till you troubleshoot this.

    Also, was BitDefender installed on this PC earlier? I can see some BitDefender modules loaded on the computer.

    Ok.

    Re: The first run has 3 specified customized tests as per the tutorial. -

    I am still not clear on this. If I go in and set the test to run on all non-MS drivers, how do I set it to run on all SM drivers at the same time. Are these not three separate tests? How long do I run each one - just through one boot?

    These were the posted tutorials:

    https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5470-enable-disable-driver-verifier-windows-10-a.html

    https://www.elevenforum.com/t/boot-to-advanced-startup-winre-in-windows-11.425/

    Ten Forums = TF

    Eleven Forum = EF

    This is an index of the TF tutorials:

    Windows 10 Tutorial Index | Tutorials

    Windows Driver Verifier = WDV

    WDV has approximately 20 customized tests.

    The first run has 3 specified customized tests as per the tutorial.

    The WDV tool has commands to turn it on and off.

    The commands run in Windows Recovery Environment (RE).

    The advanced startup has the methods to boot into Windows RE.

    Booting into Windows RE opens command prompt to turn off WDV.

    The commands in step #3 are used to turn off the tool.

    Misbehaving drivers can be uninstalled or uninstalled and reinstalled.

    The same or new customized tests can be selected to check for more misbehaving drivers.

    System restore points are created as an additional method to recover from WDV BSOD's.

    System restore should not be used to turn off the tool unless the commands fail to turn off the tool.

    The tool can run during the weekend.

    Also, the link for Bot to Adv Startup WinRE seems pretty dire. Could these tests cause this much damage. I mean, hell, my computer seems to work fine, and if it won't update Window 11 (which in my opinion is the worst release MS has ever made - because I have had nothing but headaches on two PCs running WIndows 11), I'm not sure I want to chance not having access to what I now use every day.

    What is TF tutorial?

    And am I reading this correctly, you want the first run to be the last item on the list of customized test settings?

    I probably will not have the time to start this until the weekend.
