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 don't understand the response but I'm using my unique user name in a genuine copy of the Operating System (W10Pro). See my other response below

    Health check says it's Ok and it's a Microsoft Surface Go only about 3 months old.

    I ran MS recommended checks to see Op system OK and got 100% OK.

    Mysteriously the update to W11 has now disappeared from my laptop update page (and I haven't updated it is still W10Pro). I can only assume it's been withdrawn for the cohort of m/c's my tablet fell into. It would be nice if MS was a little less secretive.........
