Angelina2552 0xc1900101 error is a generic error, usually driver related. Watchdog bugchecks are usually caused by drivers as well. This could very well be a different issue.

Please manually get the latest ones. Should your problem persist, please log it in Feedback Hub and share the link.

Angelina2552 Seems I may have caused some confusion. Windows builds should still come from WU. The device drivers (network card, etc.) should come from the device manufacturer's website.
