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.

    Surface Book 3 here - getting this error.

    No idea why nor is there an obvious solution.

    I have another Surface Book 3, and a 2, and a desktop running all Windows 11 fine.

    Saying that, the Surface Book 3 does just overheat chronically and throttle so they are much good for anything.

    Thanks, must have forgot, or not noticed. It happens more often with age. You planning to take over the detective title from fg🤣

    YW!

    No way I can compete with fg for that title, I can't even remember what I had for breakfast 😕

    Have a good one too!

    That known issue is referring to 22504 with 0xc1900101-0x4001c error and has nothing to do with the OP concern. There is a specific -0x4001c extension for that error for this build only for some devices (Not related).

    Hi Johnny,

    MSFT issued the same warning for Build 22499 too, and recently I helped a user who faced the same error trying to update to it but with a different extension (0x30018).

    Hi Sibro,

    Thanks, must have forgot, or not noticed. It happens more often with age. You planning to take over the detective title from fg🤣

    Cheers my brother, have a great day.

    Johnny
