    For anyone looking for solution please know information below, you don't need to reinstall windows:If you have long path variable and can't add new path variables windows update won't work properlyYou can fix try to fix long path variable with this powershell script:$pathEnv = [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable'Path','Machine'$splitPaths = $pathEnv.Split";" $shortPaths = @ForEach $path in $splitPaths { $a = New-Object -ComObject Scripting.FileSystemObject # Try to get the short path try { $shortPath = $a.GetFolder"$path".ShortPath

    Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems (KB4088889) and Feature update to Windows 10, version 1709

    DiskCryptor is not installed.

    I tried the ISO install step listed above, and I've received the following error message:

    "We couldn't install Windows 10

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

    0xC1900101 - 0x30017

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

    I've started reading this thread on this error:

    Redirecting

    I'm running out of time to get this installed by April 10th before Microsoft support is eliminated.

    Any other suggestions?

    Windows 10 upgrade failed - FIRST_BOOT: ERROR 0xC1900101 - 0x30017

    SOLUTION:

    My Killer devices (ethernet and Wifi) were causing the issue and i disabled them both.

    ALSO, I am unsure if it was necessary but I also disabled my Nvidia graphics drivers as well because I had seen that it was causing issues as well in other threads.

    After that, I ran the upgrade normally and it worked first try, no errors. Thanks to everyone who helped, MVPS: Saltgrass and Sumit

    END SOLUTION

    Hello Everyone,

    I am currently trying to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 7 Pro
    but unfortunately, the upgrade, using the Windows 10 installation media, keeps failing after the first restart, right after the
    install gets to around 27-31% completed.

    Windows 10 installation media I am using:
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10


    The error that pops up when it does fail after the first restart is: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

    With error code: 0xC1900101 - 0x30017

    After some digging about the error code, it appears that it is related to there
    being a bad driver somewhere but it doesn't tell me which one.

    Found here: Windows 10 upgrade resolution procedures - Windows Client

    After that, it boot loops twice and reverts the hard drive to just before starting the upgrade.

    Here is everything I have tried to fix it:

    • Updated every single driver on my computer to its most recent version, yes all of them.
    • I have made sure that I have absolutely every windows update for windows 7 to date, running windows update now only returns Windows is up to date.
    • Initiated the upgrade will all external hardware unplugged, so literally just my laptop with an ethernet cable plugged in
    • Deactivated Anti-virus
    • Attempted the upgrade from a clean boot (Following this guide for Windows 7:
      https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/929135/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows
      )
    • I have run sfc /scannow and chkdsk /r several times over at this point, both show no errors
    • I have also cloned my hard drive to a spare SSD I had and booted of that to see if maybe my hard drive was failing and retried all of the above again but it still failed.
    I have also followed the following steps to try and repair windows update but that doesn't appear to be an issue:

    net stop wuauserv

    net stop cryptSvc

    net stop bits

    net stop msiserver

    Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

    Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old

    net start wuauserv

    net start cryptSvc

    net start bits

    net start msiserver

    Restart

    I am stuck here, I am not sure what else I can to do to get this upgrade to work. My searching throughout the web has led me to this point trying the above.

    The only other more extreme solution I found was someone stating that once the upgrade performs its first restart, is to hard shutdown the machine yourself (hold down the power button) and then start it back up. I am not so sure about this
    as I think this is very likely to cause some sort of drive corruption for sure.

    Any and all help is greatly appreciated, thank you.
