Windows 10: 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

:)

 

Anniversary update fails with error 0xC1900101 - 0x20017


I followed the directions C: > Windows > Panther and found the two text files, setuperr dated 9-15-2016 on a failed attempt





Setuperr below, appears ATI drivers are listed at the top. Maybe this is what the troubleshooting page refers to, I'm not uninstalling them. W10 should replace them with MS working drivers if the W10 AU can't handle them. It could be the problem, but it wasn't a problem the first RTM or the November update.

Since the AU is now considered the "paid" version for those that didn't take advantage of the free upgrade W10 may be picky about an install. I'm not doing a clean install, if W10 is now the new "running as a service OS" it should be able to update itself without issue. Meaning any computer running any version of W10 without problems should upgrade without problems.
