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.

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Install and upgrade

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

    Thank you all.. I downloaded Windows 11 using the MS Media Creation Tool, installed Windows 11 from scratch, updated Asus drivers using MyAsus app, reinstalled my applications. Things are working well now..

    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 .
