    Couldn't install Windows 11 22H2 - 0xC1900101 - 0x30018


    I have been trying to update my homebuilt Windows 11 PC. I had been unsuccessful while trying to keep my settings and files so this morning I decided to keep nothing. I am still receiving the error message "0xC1900101 - 0x30018 The installation failed in the FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during SYSPREP_SPECIALIZE operation".I am running the update from an ISO file.Chris

    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.

    Follow up: While I know that there different things that can cause this, and I have zero information to go on, at least take a look at this to see it it applies to you:
