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.
I tried many times and all of a sudden this week it presented an update again, I agreed, and it worked marvelously booting up in win11 and working great everysince. I don't know what if anything I did but suspect maybe microsoft made some changed in setup program that may have caused problems previously.
I'm facing the same issue with my Dell Inspiron 5510 i5 11th gen.
So disappointing to find that a machine purchased just weeks before Windows 11 launched, can't install the update properly.
Now I'm stuck in a never ending cycle of the OS trying to update itself every chance it gets.
Dell Support has given up and asked me to install Windows from scratch.
This is a Dell laptop - I shouldn't be having these issues.
I have the same issue with an Intel NUC. At first, I was excited about getting the "latest and greatest" from Microsoft. I tried many things, all without success. Nobody is able to say, "this is what is causing your problem." That is the reason nobody has been able to say, for certain, how to fix it. It's all been alchemy up to this point.
I'm ready to say I'm stuck with Windows 10 - which, after all, is working just fine except for the constant attempts to upgrade. Maybe all I can hope for is a way to stop the upgrade cycle.
Installing from the Media Creation Tool has not worked for me and all my drivers are up to date. Windows always rolls back during reboot at about 85% when I have caught it. I started to try updating with the previews in the summer. Windows Update says it is eligible.

I agree totally with you. I also have a Dell laptop (Inspiron 7506 2n1 purchased in June 2021). Likewise, I have attempted upgrades to Windows11 starting in September and the last one (I think) in December 2021. The message saying my laptop is ready for Windows 11 has not appeared for the last couple of weeks though, so I have not tried again, but will do so soon.
When I raised the issue with Dell support last year, they ended up telling me to reach out to Microsoft who haven't been terribly helpful.
