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'm not sure. It is integrated on the motherboard in the ASUS Vivobook i5 laptop.

    I solved it by resetting windows 10, then immediately joining the beta channel and installing windows 11.

    I looked around a lot but was unable to fix this issue any other way.

    You mentioned you reset the Windows PIN. Is that a factor somehow?

    I don't think so. The PIN was reset when I cleared the TPM.

    I found your corrective actions very useful to read. My concern is that Microsoft MUST know these things. Not accommodating them on dot 120 may be reasonable, but not useful.

    1. I do not use bitlocker.
    2. TPM is a non issue with my BIOS.
    3. My laptop does not have multi-monitor challenges. Intel only.
