    Windows 10 Update 0xC1900101-0x30018 error during SYSPREP_SPECIALIZE operation


    I receive the following error message every time I try to update Windows 10.

    0xC1900101-0x30018

    The installation failed in the FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during SYSPREP_SPECIALIZE operation


    I've tried removing additional antivirus software, removed external drives and everything connected to the laptop, updated all of the drivers, and tried installing the update with the Wi-Fi turned off. What else should I try?


    Any help is appreciated

    :)

    Windows 10 Error code 0xc1900101-0x30018



    Windows 10 Update 0xC1900101-0x30018 error during SYSPREP_SPECIALIZE operation [​IMG]

    Same here, have tried it at least three times to no avail. Installation gives a BSOD after second reboot at 32% of installation (6% of apps and drivers). It tries to resurrect the installation, fails, and rolls back to original OS, Windows 7 Ultimate, in my case. On return to W7 it gives the dreaded error code 0xc1900101-0x30018. Will be following this thread to see if any possible solution arises.

    Edit: During one of my attempts, I unplugged the USB drive and the Wifi USB, this did not help unfortunately.
