Cannot install Windows 11 - Error 0xc1900101

Anonymous

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.

There should be some additional info in the output. Can you log it in Feedback Hub and share the link with me?

I don't get the option to install in a different partition. How did you do that?

I went to the disk manager.

Downsized the one partition to create a new 200gb area.

I downloaded the windows installer from Microsoft, and ran it in the new partition - Drive D in my case.

I booted from drive d using the BIOS

Entered the Windows Insider and Update features.

It installed, on the clean drive, Windows 11.

10.0.22000.132 tried to install again tonight ... it failed still, but for the first time I got a different error code: 0x80248007 instead of 0xc1900101.

I see now there's a new build out (10.0.22000.160) so I'll let that one fail too. :)
