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.

    Thanks, Chris, I indeed did some screwups yesterday that made your post to disappear from the article. The Setupmemory dump did not blame a specific driver I am afraid. Can you also post SetupDiag ZIP?

    . After running the tool, look for Setupdiagresults.log and Setupdiag.zip in the same folder Setupdiag.exe is present.

    The only file resulting from running SetupDiag.exe is the log file, no zip file has been created. I think I will attempt a further Win11 upgrade and follow up with running SetupDiag.exe from that.

    I have now re-tried the upgrade. The result was precisely the same. I have overwritten the two files originally created (Setupdiagresults.log and setupmem.dmp - there was no Setupdiag.zip created) which I have shared as follows:

    1. Setupdiagresults.log - https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvgtwC2s8rpggYETqRtloUpPDYcYrw?e=jOwD98
    2. setupmem.dmp - https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvgtwC2s8rpggYES9ktfvc-WqQKcrw?e=t7ISxz
