Windows 10: 0xC1900101-0x30018 error when in-place upgrading Windows 10 v1909

Hello.


I am trying to do an in-place upgrade of my machine's installed OS: Microsoft Windows 10 v1909 compilation 18363.836, using the latest Windows setup media.

I don’t have any antivirus/firewall program installed besides the default windows ones.


I ran the setup process from inside windows, and I keep the option to search for updates on and select to keep my apps and files.


During setup, after the first boot and at about 48% of the applying updates process, it gets an error, it shuts down, and when rebooting on, the machine reverts back to the previous state.

This is the error message dialog I get when logging back-in to Windows:


0xC1900101-0x30018

The installation failed in the FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during SYSPREP_SPECIALIZE operation


I have tried everything I know to resolve this:


- Did a disk clean

- Did a full a System File Check for errors: Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup&sfc/scannow&Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth&sfc/scannow&pause

- Did a Check Disk for errors

- Uninstalled all OEM device drivers graphics, sound, etc... and let Windows Update to install its-own versions

- Did a clean boot and, from there, ran Setup again

- …


But the problem is always the same 0xC1900101-0x30018 error.


Can anyone please analyse the C:\WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\ & C:\WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\ log files I send in the following OneDrive link, in order to discover what is preventing this update?


You can download the files from here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Av3i2XT8-pe9rtQMOpm9exbm9buOng?e=LmIa7P


Thank you in advance.

Windows 10 Error code 0xc1900101-0x30018



Same here, have tried it at least three times to no avail. Installation gives a BSOD after second reboot at 32% of installation (6% of apps and drivers). It tries to resurrect the installation, fails, and rolls back to original OS, Windows 7 Ultimate, in my case. On return to W7 it gives the dreaded error code 0xc1900101-0x30018. Will be following this thread to see if any possible solution arises.

Edit: During one of my attempts, I unplugged the USB drive and the Wifi USB, this did not help unfortunately.
