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.

    Ditto here. I keep pausing updates because auto-update will try over and over again - always failing. Error code will sometimes change, but result is the same. I was on the preview channel, so this has been happening for close to a year now. Tried many "cures" but nothing works. Very, very frustrating.
