Windows 10: Error 0xC1900101 0x20017 - A driver has caused a problem.

I have not been able to update my Windows 10 Pro Version 1909 Build 18363.1082 to version 2004, in spite of several efforts.

I thought if I reinstalled 1909 I might be able to then upgrade to 2004.

I ran setup.exe from the 1909 ISO, but after the computer restarted I got

We couldn't install Windows 10

We've set your PC back to the way it was right before you started installing Windows 10.

0xC1900191 - 0x20017

The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation.

This seems to be a driver problem?

What I would like to learn is how to find out which device driver is causing this error.

C:\Windows\Panther\UnattendGC\setuperr.log contains only

while setupact.log goes:

This seems to be a problem with Windows Recovery? Here is the DISKPART detail of my recovery partition:

I would appreciate any hints or advice on how to fix this.

re-installing Windows 10, error 0xC1900101 - 0x20017: bad drivers?

@jonobugs, that's the 'simple' help page. There's a more technical page available. That one says...

Resolve Windows 10 upgrade errors - Windows IT Pro | Microsoft Docs

The log files should identify precisely which driver is at fault.

 

Error 0xC1900101-0x20017 during 2018 feature upgrade installation

The log files mentioned below should tell you...

Hi Antony,

As i am getting error code 0xC1900101 - 0x20017 but you suggested to refer 0xc1900101-0x40017. Just asking which one is right solution for my
issue ?

I have already tried the steps mentioned for error code 0xC1900101 - 0x20017 but No luck.

I also tried to upgrade through Windows Update but same error.

Thanks
