I am trying to install the new Windows 11 update from Windows Update, but I keep getting error 0xc1900101.

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.

    I am having the same problem. Each time i try the install goes a bit further until today when it just stopped, backed out the changes and rebooted. I saw 0xc1900101 error in Windows Update.

    Hope there is a solution soon.

    I'll try again

    Hi All, ->> Here the solution. <<--

    I was too facing the same errors of failed installation on Surface Go2 M3 even after installing all available updates from the update center.

    After keep trying, I noticed my system has Windows 1909 release, and when I checked further there were many more standalone releases available on the Microsoft site. So I gave the change to update my release from 1909 to 21H1.

    Next, when I again tried, Win11 successfully got installed on the same machine.

    Nope, my PC is a standard Intel NUC with a single M2 drive, nothing else special connected.
