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.

Answer 1

In addition to the suggestions made, after creating the bootable install USB, when it is time to do the update, totally disconnect from the internet. No wire connection, no WiFi.

Answer 2

I wish there was a way we could seek Financial Compensation from Microsoft for these issues! 

I have a Windows 10 Home installation upon a Sony Vaio Laptop, that for some reason stopped receiving updates a while back, and this problem only became noticeable today when the WiFi mysteriously stopped working.  After cleaning & repairing the installation (dsim, sfc) and working through the updates, I reached this 1803 update, only to be greeted with an "Undefined error" ! 

Unlike prior versions of Windows, you can no longer skip releases if they're available, so am left wondering what to do....

Answer 3

Upgrading from ISO didn't work. I couldn't even reset my pc. So installing Windows 10 again was my last option which eventually worked!!!

But I couldn't figure out what was causing the error. It used to get stuck on the black screen during update and then revert back my current Windows 10 version.

Anyways, thanks for your reply.
