I am trying to install the new Windows 11 update from Windows Update, but I keep getting error 0xc1900101 after rebooting.
The installation starts, and after a couple restarts, it says:
" Attempting to recover installation "
" Undoing changes made to your computer "
And then I am greeted with error 0xc1900101 on Windows Update.

Dear Ramesh,
Thank you for your assistance, you were really helpful.
At a point my pc touch screen stopped responding during the many installation attempts, so didn't know what I had done to cause this. then I decided to clean install, so i chose not to keep my files and settings and it worked.

2025-02-20T09:57:15+00:00 I have the same issue, same error.
Seems to me FALSE positive error, because:
Cloning my system to another disk and accepting (no keeping my programs/ apps), I could install the latest 24H2 version and successfully updated to latest version.
I just wanted to see if there were any REASON why the original system keeps failing, so I gave up trying.
I am not going, though, to reinstall all deleted (100s) apps, so I'm using on the old system without any problem with the latest 23H2 (22635.4945) update.
