Windows 11 crashes during update to latest dev build

Windows crashes after it shuts down during the update to the latest dev build 22478.1000 (rs_prerelease) and then reverts the update. Tried several times and it happens all the time, and no dump file is created. I also cannot leave the insider program, the option is greyed out. Thanks for any help.

 

Event log: 

Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0xC1900101: Windows 11 Insider Preview 22478.1000 (rs_prerelease).

 

Current OS version: 

Windows 11 Pro Insider Preview, Version Dev
OS build 22471.1000

Hardware specs:

Processor AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor 3.70 GHz

Motherboard: Gigabyte x570 Aorus Master
Installed RAM 64.0 GB
GPU Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090

      OldloratH try and run these commands in an elevated command prompt by typing CMD in the search box on your taskbar then right clicking on command prompt and selecting "run as admin":

       

      1.Run chkdsk/f C: and press the Enter (it will say the drive is in use do you want to run this on the next reboot select yes or Y)

      2. Run DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and press the Enter

      3. Run sfc /scannow

       

      reboot the computer then try to run the update again

      Anyone can confirm this with Windows 11 pro?

        Sadly I'm on windows 11 Home so am unable to confirm for the pro version

        I guess the only way you will find out is try to perform the update in Windows Update and see if it Succeeds or fails then let us know

    I have submitted a feedback report on the feedback hub regarding this issue under the name "Windows 11 Error 0xC1900101"

    please kindly go on there if you can and upvote it so it brings this to Microsoft's attention and hopefully they can get a fix out asap for this

    I managed to install the latest 22478.1001 insider preview, but only by doing a clean install. But not too long after that, i was greeted by the same green screens and reboots, up to the point where 22478.1001 didnt even start anymore. I got a Ryzen CPU as well. Ryzen 3600 here. Some further AMD CPU optimizing that started with 22471 went horribly wrong?

    I'm having the same issue, and am starting to think that it might be a conflict with Ryzen based processors, since everyone else on this thread so far has Ryzen as well...

    im having the same issue it downloads and installs the update then says a restart is required, i restart it starts to do the update then reboots again and says "reverting changes made to your computer"

    in the log file i have the following:

    "Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0xC1900101: Windows 11 Insider Preview 22478.1000 (rs_prerelease)."

     

    From looking up this error code ( error 0xC1900101 ) its saying this error could be caused by your antivirus software and to disable it and try to do the update again

    seems this is the same error that you are getting.

    my system specs are below:


    Current OS version:
    Windows 11 Pro Insider Preview, Version Dev
    OS build 22471.1000

    Hardware specs:
    CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700x 4.3ghz

        pablo_max3045 i tried to dsable the antivures, infact i removed it totally and the update still failed, i also tried the methods listed below:

         

        1. Make sure that your device has enough space. Your device requires at least 16 GB of free space to upgrade a 32-bit OS, or 20 GB for a 64-bit OS. For more info, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/free-up-drive-space-in-windows-85529ccb-c365-490d-b548-831022bc9b32.

        2. Run Windows Update a few times. Download and install any available updates in Windows Update, including software updates, hardware updates, and some third-party drivers. Use the https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-update-troubleshooter-19bc41ca-ad72-ae67-af3c-89ce169755dd to fix Windows Update errors.

        im wondering whether a feedback report should be sent in about this in the feedback hub?

         

        1. Check third-party drivers and download any updates. You can find third-party drivers and installation instructions for any hardware you’ve added to your device on the manufacturer’s website.

        2. Unplug extra hardware. Remove all external storage devices and drives, docks, and other hardware you might have plugged into your device that isn’t needed for basic functionality.

        3. Check Device Manager for errors. Select the Start  button, then in the search box on the taskbar, type device manager. Choose Device Manager from the results. In the window that pops up, look for any device with a yellow exclamation mark beside it (you may have to select each category to switch to the list of devices). Press and hold (or right-click) the device name and select either Update Driver Software or Uninstall to correct the errors.

        4. Remove third-party security software. Make sure you know how to reinstall your programs and that any necessary product keys are on hand. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/help-protect-my-device-with-windows-security-1a5b8102-c93d-0573-8fd3-b2d33a1e5386 will help protect your device in the meantime.

        5. Repair hard-drive errors. Select the Start  button, then in the search box on the taskbar, type command prompt. Choose Command Prompt from the list of results. In the window that pops up, type chkdsk/f C: and press the Enter key. Repairs automatically start on your hard drive, and you’ll be asked to restart your device.

          Note: You must have administrator permissions on your device to do this.

        6. Do a clean restart into Windows. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-da2f9573-6eec-00ad-2f8a-a97a1807f3dd.

        7. Restore and repair system files. Select the Start  button, then in the search box on the taskbar, type command prompt. Choose Command Prompt from the list of results. In the window that pops up, type DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and press the Enter key. (https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/manufacture/desktop/repair-a-windows-image) 

        8. Run sfc /scannow in an elevated comand prompt 

        9. apparently this error can also be caused by extra ram i tried removing a single ram module leaving one in 

        all of the above methods failed and the update still failed to go through, my pc rebooted 4 times and on the 5th time it said "undoing changes made to your system"

         

        im wondering whether a bug report should be sent in about this in the feedback hub?
