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.

    it depends on what system you are running but yes I also had to unplug my second m.2 in order for it to install and I got the same error 6 times before I figured it out .This is the kind of error that Microsoft should have seen coming but didnt prep for it .

    WIN11 is installed successfully!

    After much agony, the following helped. First, I achieved compatibility through the BIOS settings (Asus 365b plus). When installing WIN11, the error is 0xC1900101. The video card is 1060.

    First, I removed third-party antivirus programs. In the Windows update center, I once again started the installation

    Then on the keyboard, press the Windows logo key and R at the same time and type: devmgmt.msc and press Enter.

    Then double-click the IDE ATA / ATAPI controllers. Right - click on the SATA device that you see and select "Delete Device".

    After that, check the box "Remove the driver software for this device" and click "Delete".

    try performing a clean boot and see if you can update Windows 11.

    To do this, press the Windows logo key and R simultaneously on the keyboard. Type msconfig and press Enter.

    Click the Services tab and select the "Hide all Microsoft Services" checkbox. Then click. Disable everything.

    You will see that all the marked fields are empty after you click the "Disable all" button. Click "Startup" and "Open Task Manager".

    Select the programs that you do not want to start the computer with, and click "Disable". Close the Task Manager window and return to the System configuration window. Click "Apply" and OK to save the changes.

    And only after that, restart the computer. During the reboot, I went into the BIOS and disabled the network interface and legacy USB. Exited the BIOS and after that the installation started.

    I don't know exactly what helped, but after this WIN11 was successfully installed.

    I have a better idea. Microsoft should execute that patch so the rest of us don’t have to suffer their laziness..

    problem not a fix.
