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.

    Thanks, Chris, I indeed did some screwups yesterday that made your post to disappear from the article. The Setupmemory dump did not blame a specific driver I am afraid. Can you also post SetupDiag ZIP?

    https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=870142

    . After running the tool, look for Setupdiagresults.log and Setupdiag.zip in the same folder Setupdiag.exe is present.

    The file Setupmem.dmp is not on the partition I was trying to upgrade. I gave up and went to Windows 11 without upgrading. Microsoft support was NO help. Since I had already tried everything they tried before I text them for a trouble call. I have installed all my apps and copied all the files to the new partition and switched to the Windows 11 as my primary boot partition. Thanks for trying to help.

    Evening,

    I have again attempted to run Win 11, this time using the ISO download to a USB. Upon running setup it gets to around the 93% mark, the pc rebooting several times, then fails. The setup failure reports 0xC1900101 - 0X4000d. Looked up the code and received;

    Image<br><br>0xC1900101 - 0x4000D Usually, a Blue screen issue, caused by an incompatible driver.<br><br>There would be a file named setupmem.dmp in C:/$Windows.~bt\Sources\Rollback, which you can interpret using WinDBG to find the problematic driver.<br><br><br><br>(I have no idea what WinDBG is or how to inerpret using it).

    Cheers

    Hey Richie, I can help you with that. Can you share the Setupmem.dmp file using Onedrive?

    Setupmem.dmp present in C:$Windows.~BT\Sources\Rollback

    These folders may be hidden, so you need to either show the hidden files or paste the path in the Run Dialog box.

    I did try to respond the other day, but clearly did not read this recommended article, because I found my post was subsequently removed.

    This link should identify my particular issue - https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvgtwC2s8rpggYES9ktfvc-WqQKcrw?e=IM4049

    I had the same problem when my laptop was returned to me from service. The technicians had updated the BIOS and re-wiped the HD. I booted up, installed the usual apps, updated Windows with all the latest updates, and when turn came to upgrade to Windows 11 nothing seemed to help. Tried for a day, reading various threads until my nerves busted. Wiped again Windows and directly paused all updates I logged in for the first time. Downloaded manually the Win11 Update Assistant and it worked as a charm, writing now from Win11.

    In hindsight, I'm pretty sure it was one of the Win10 updates that busted my update, but now I don't care.

    If you do not have any valuable this, or do, back up you data and do what I did. My recommendation.
