    Inplace-Upgrade W10x64 1909 to 20H2–0xc1900101 critical process died


    Inplace-Upgrade from Windows 10 x64 1909 to 20H2 Setup reports The installation failed in the FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during BOOT operation with error codes 0xc1900101 0x30017 ended up in BSOD critical process died

    No! Not again! Please! Anything else! (Fry in Futurama) This happed to often with Windows Inplace Upgrades.

    Sorry for my poor English, Im from Germany; as well I tried to translate all German Windows Messages into English, hopefully correctly. It is also my first post here, hope, that you can be patient with me if Im doing something wrong in this post.

    THE PROBLEM:
    Ive tried for many attempts to inplace upgrade Windows 10 x64 1909 to 20H2 with the current MediaCreationTool-Iso-Setup, the GUI-Part seems to run fine, but after it reboots for the first time in the SAFE_OS-Part during the installation it will run in a BSOD critical process died at approximately 38% progress.

    WHAT HAVE I ATTEMPED SO FAR (a selection of the imho important steps that Ive tried till now):
    -Drivers updated
    -Windows says that all current updates are loaded
    -Removed temporally for inplace upgrade AV (KTS & Fortigate Client)
    -Just to test it out clean installed a fresh 20H2 parallel on another ssd with no problems
    -Due I want to start with out UEFI with Windows Boot Manager because of my old system I validated that my BIOS is configured with Legacy / UEFI and start in CSM mode directly from the SSD that hosts the 1909 that I want to inplace upgrade
    -Validated the status and location of WindowsRE with reagentc (which was for me surprisingly at first disabled, now after reagentc treatment with setimage parameter it seems to be activated and correct (reagentc / info says afterwards its enabled
    -Backup and rebuild boot record with CSM boot 20H2 from USB stick in cmd environment by using bootrec /fixmbr and bootrec /rebuildbcd and bcdboot C:\Windows /l de-DE /s y: /f ALL
    -Running SetupDiag v1.6.0.0 from Microsoft it says merely that by processing the FindRollbackFailure rule the error 0xc1900101-0x30017 occurred whit the last phase Safe OS and last operation Close log files; err_6.4.5.exe reports for that error codes CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT bugcodes.h / STATUS_ALERTED ntstatus.h
    -In-deep memory test (just to be sure) with no upcoming errors so far
    -In-deep tested every drive with chkdsk & the hdd and ssd manufacture provided test tools with no upcoming errors so far
    -Remove programs conflicting with 20H2 (what setup reported to be critical), e. g. VM Works
    -And other steps

    For further information I have posted below what the current versions of Tuneup.bat, LOGS.bat, V2 BSOD Posting Instructions and Upgrade_failure_info.bat from this forum here reported to my system. If you need more information than I will add it so far and fast I can. Because of the big files I have stored it to my website so you can download the zip with this links:
    -http://www.station1.de/logs/Tuneup-b...-part-info.zip
    -http://www.station1.de/logs/LOGS.zip
    -http://www.station1.de/logs/SOLARIS8..._21-06-31).zip
    -http://www.station1.de/logs/Upgrade_...t_21-18-11.zip
    If it is too inconvenient to you, I can on demand upload the files also in this forum thread if I should to.

    I guess at now that it could be a driver problem that is responsible for the BSOD critical process died, but what driver? Where can I search for the solution to this problem?

    Sorry for the long post but I wanted to gave any information that seems to me important.
    I know, my system is some kind of complex and that makes the problem not easier to solve. But after so many tries Im running out of ideas Im so desperate that it wont work after spending so many hours and days with it and Im still unable to find the error.
    So I would be very very glad if anybody can help me out of this frustrating situation.

    1001 thanks in advance!

    Yours sincerely

    :)

    Critical Process Died on windows 10 setup


    Ive just opened event viewer as you suggested but I cant seem to find any error that says "critical process died"
    Inplace-Upgrade W10x64 1909 to 20H2–0xc1900101 critical process died [​IMG]


    I have attached a screenshot of the event viewer. I have scrolled to the bottom to where it first booted up.

    Ive downloaded the software you sent the link for but I'm not sure how to use it as nothing shows up when I load it.
