I would suggest just give up on any of these developer or beta windows 11 downloads. It is enormously problematic and impossible to diagnose the issue. Just say no.

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 started with a fresh Windows 10 install on my Surface Go Laptop and ran every update asked for, joined the Insider program (Dev Channel) but am unable to progress and getting this error.
Might try beta channel next and see if that gets me in to 11?
