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.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
First off I hear that windows 11 advanced release is rather nice.
Having said that, it appears that the advanced release is geared towards machines that have virtually no applications or drivers or peripheral devices. That seems a bit presumptuous given people who participate in the windows insider program don’t tend to have naked machines.
If I were you I would give up on the entire windows 11 advanced release until Microsoft’s installation program has more brains than a box of rocks.
I appreciate your comment, but. I have 750 GB of data and 30 applications. I am not about to bring my computer back to the state it was when I bought it, just to enjoy the new features of Windows 11.
I will wait for Microsoft to enhance their installation program so it isn’t bothered by Silly things like applications and data and drivers and peripheral devices!
Do a complete windows reinstall and update!
