Windows 11 Update Failed, then Windows Update failed
It seems that on many computers there is this problem!
Cannot install Windows 11 - Error 0xc1900101 - Microsoft Community
Here's a possible explanation of what I've been experiencing. As those who have been following this discussion know, after attempting to upgrade to Windows 11 under the Release Preview Channel of Windows Insider (an opportunity that I was offered in Windows Update and which also appeared in notifications) I was unable to achieve any result, and thereafter I got errors when trying to use Windows Update. I decided to drop out of the Windows Insider program temporarily. I rebooted and voila! Windows Update was again available. I re-joined the Release Preview Channel of Windows Insider, rebooted, and updates were still available and (at least as of now) I am not offered the chance to upgrade to Windows 11. Perhaps Microsoft invited my upgrade prematurely?
I just ran the Windows Update and got the attached file. Dare I do this again? (I've seen this same upgrade offer many, many times now, and running it will likely cause errors in my getting future non-upgrade updates.)
Ignore it, of course!
When your system is ready, you will receive an inquiry and you will have to agree to the new version of the system.
- Should I back out of the Windows Insider program?
- I think so!
But that's just to get a stable version of Windows11.
Of course, other insider program participants don't have to do so, but it's worth a try.
Good luck- Isn't the Release Preview Channel supposed to give only a stable version, ready for release?
