    Update to 1903 fails with error 0xc1900101

    Hi

    I'm trying to update Windows 10 from 1809 to 1903 but after one of the reboots, it gets stuck. I need to turn off and on the computer twice for it to undo changes and go back to the previous version where it works ok.

    When going to the version history in the settings, I see the error 0xc1900101. On the net I saw this error accompanied with more codes but I only see 0xc1900101.

    I didn't try to use media creation tool - is there a reason for me to expect it to work differently than than the auto update of windows itself?

    I also read here: Fix Error 0xC1900101 – 0x20017 We Couldn’t Install Windows 10

    I updated my drivers, disconnected my external hard drive, there is enough space in the hard drive.... but still it fails. I have Avast antivirus, I didn't uninstall it. Also, in the past I never had problems upgrading to major versions of Windows 10.

    Is there a way for me to know what exactly is causing this error?
    Is there a way to check the compatibility of my computer without to actually upgrade? It takes time until it stuck.
    Thanks

  3. Unable to upgrade one of the system to Windows 10 Update Error 0xC1900101 - 0x20004

    Thank you for the reply. I read both of those threads already.

    1. Resetting BIOS. I flashed BIOS to the latest version. Currently running default settings. No change.

    2. Andre da Costa brings up a list of reasons. For error 0xC1900101-0x20017 he says refer to error 0xc000021a.

    2a. Regarding his troubleshooting steps for error 0xc000021a. He says to wipe the drive and switch from NTFS to GPT. This is incorrect. If this was true, then no one could update from Windows 7 to Windows 10 without a clean install. Beyond which, I updated
    my first desktop from Windows 7 to Windows 10 when it was running Windows 7 on NTFS.

    2b. Regarding his additional troubleshooting steps for error 0xC1900101-0x20017. He has a number of suggestions, such as disabling peripherals. I tried all of these for both .iso and USB installs. No luck.

    Any other suggestions?
