If you could provide me with an update on what you've done so far. It'd be greatly appreciated to know if you solved this problem or not. This issue happened to me as well and gave me a wonderful heart attack when I woke up and noticed my bios was open for some reason as I went to sleep with my PC updating. I exited out of bios, and it loaded back up but froze on startup. So, I restarted the PC, and it rolled back and turned off. Turned it back on and loaded up fine, but I was on the previous update. So, what I'm going to do is press that wonderful button that stops updates for a week. Come back in a week and hopefully there will be an update that allows me to finish the process this time. I recommend everyone else to do the same as it seems like it's an issue with the update and not people's hardware.

I must admit I don’t know what the ge-release stands for.  I have made 5 or 6 attempts to load the install update Windows 11 Insider Preview 10.0.26052.1100 (ge_release).

Now after reading other posts, I realized that the upgrade started freezing at the first pass off from bios to windows also and then it would freeze with about a quarter of the rotating circle still on the screen.   After I would shut down the computer with a hard shut down, I was now getting the install procedure starting but not too far before going to the freezing up stage again.   After upgrading some video drivers and software drivers, on 3 more attempts I was getting 68% the computer setting up windows then then it would freeze.  After a hard restart on the computer myself it removed all new files and in Windows Update it comes up with - Install error - 0xc1900101 every time.

 

New today 2024-02-11

Under Windows Update and it says;

  • Updates available to down load
  • Last checked Today, 10:41 AM
  • Download & install all.  

 

The Tab Below says:

  • Windows 11 Insider Preview 10.0.26052.1100 (ge_release)
  • This update couldn't be installed, but we'll try again later. 

 

The difference is it doesn’t say retry and there is a new

  • Download & install all tab. 

 

I am reluctant to try again but I will probably give it another go this afternoon and will post my results then.
