how do i stop downloading and installing windows 11

It downloads all the way. It reaches 100% installed in the update control panel, then it restarts. Reaches 77% stays there for 30 - 40 minutes saying 77%, then moves on to please wait while windows is getting ready, but EVERY SINGLE TIME its Windows 10 when I log in and few hours later the whole saga begins again. When I check the status after the "Upgrade installation" it says an error has occurred, if this error persists please confirm your system meets minimum requirements and contact customer support. As I said, technical support is clueless why and just wants to wipe my system and start over. This is not an option nor is it acceptable.

The exact error I get every time is:

There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0xc1900101)

The advice given was:

1900101 is a very generic error and usually indicates a driver problem. The Panther logs can help you pinpoint the problem; if you are not proficient, try running Setupdiag to find the root cause. Before that, if you have not, try updating manually either using the Installation Assistant or ISO file. Both methods keep everything, including apps and files.

But every driver is up to date based on the manufacture's driver list for all drivers.

Has it downloaded or downloaded and INSTALLED all the way?

Interrupting the upgrade process can cause your system to become unstable and not work properly. I recommend waiting for it to finish and check Kapil Arya’s guide below on How to Downgrade from Windows 11 to 10.

This is totally useless. My computer continually tries to download and install Windows 11. Each time if fails with a generic error that does nothing to assist me in figuring out why. It tries to do the Windows 11 upgrade 3 - 4 times PER DAY AUTOMATICALLY! The only way I have to stop it is to pause updates for a week. I used the PC health tool that you recommend, but it confirms I have everything needed to upgrade, but still fails. I called your support center and all they wanted to do was wipe my system clean and start all over. That would be totally unacceptable as I have too many things on here that would take a week to get back to normal even if I was able to get back to normal. There should just be an option to not upgrade, but there is not.

ok

thank you
