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.

    I did almost the same thing, except I installed Win 11 Home on a different partition (keeping the old one with Win 10 to refer back to if need be) and reinstalled all the applications (except a few which I forgot what they were for and hadn't used in a VERY long time) and copied the files from the old partition to the new one. Since I had already upgraded from Windows 10 to 11 on 5 partitions on this computer I gave up trying to get Microsoft to help!. You have me beet in the number of years of computer experience I have only 47 years in the business.

    Also try updating your drivers from a driver updater and geforce experience.
