Failure to install Windows 10 April Update(version 1803)

Question

I am unable to install The Windows 10 Feature update to OS version 1803(from version 1709) on my PC.

It is giving 0xc1900101 error. I have all the latest drivers on my PC. The current OS build of my PC is 16299.371.

After each failure, the update gets downloaded again and it has failed 5 times.

I would be grateful if someone could please help.

It's shocking how so many people are experiencing these recent Windows update issues. I am one of them and feel utterly abandoned by Microsoft when trying to seek help. It's also a poor response to expect people to run through detailed steps, including in some cases editing the system Registry in a vane attempt to resolve these issues. Microsoft please step up and resolve these issues once and for all, you have a responsibility to do so!

Hi Harshpreet,

With these major upgrades, the most successful method is to upgrade from the Windows 10 ISO - you download the ISO and then perform an Offline Upgrade

Click this link:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can download the latest Windows 10 ISO (Select Create Installation Media for Another PC), then choose ISO

When the ISO file completes downloading

Disconnect from the Internet

Disable any 3rd party Antivirus you may be running

Then, double click it and then run Setup.exe to begin the upgrade . . .
