Windows 11 insider preview 22593.1 (ni_release) failing

Brass Contributor

2 previous updates were also failing with the same error. I was hoping 22593.1 will install but I got the same 0xc1900101 error:

Did anyone find a solution to this besides a clean install?

 

Thank you,

I was having a failure downloading the update with that code. It turned out the setupconfig.ini in the default profile existed from a previous Windows 10 feature update and it had incompatible settings in it. The file would likely be at %systemdrive%\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WSUS\SetupConfig.ini and removing it might help if you are getting the failure during download.
Thank you MikeGR76. I will give that a try but my download goes well, Install goes to 100%. Once I reboot, it applies the changes, a few reboots and at 60% it reboots again. On the last reboot it rolls back the update...
Just to say exactly the same behaviour here, also started 2 updates ago.

I've had the same issue, GSOD after installation and Windows then reverts to the previous version, 22581.

same exact problem here.

The update installs then at 14 percent it hangs then the update fail message comes up @Lowestprime 

 

I have tried every fix to get it to work including clearing out alot of space on the HD.

 

Tried 20 times,same error.

 

Now it's taking over my life this update lol trying to get it to install.

@MikeGR76 

 

There is no WSUS folder in my location.

 

i have noticed my non system hard drive (F) flashes when trying to install this update.

 

Why?

I have the same x1900101 for a month lately. When I check the Windows Update etl logs, it says 15003 as an ErrorCode. 

So far I've got to a point, where the Start menu was not working after a failed update, so I did a clean install from w10 iso -> w11 (wu) because even the 22593 DEV ISO failed to install :D

So now I'm on 10.0.22000.593 and stuck AGAIN, it is so frustrating.

The GSOD error always something else, and usually comes up after 87% of progress.

 

se descarcă Windows 11 Insider Preview 22593.1 (ni_release) numai la 2% și rămâne așa și nu-mi dă voie să repornesc pentru actualizări noi

Hello I had the same problem also and this is what I tried. There was an experience pack to download, after I installed it, 22593.1 has installed. If it has not worked, I don't know.
Darren,
That folder would only be there if you have corporate IT that pushes custom feature updates. Our desktop team(which I was a part of until recently) does that and before I set it to insider I had received a standard feature update. Those corporate settings apparently don't work with Windows 11's latest feature updates. If you don't have the folder you won't see the issue I ran into.
Cred ca la tine problema este diferita. Nu am patit de mult asta si nu imi mai amintesc **bleep** am procedat, dar personal cred ca solutia de la

poate fi incercata in cazul tau.

Hello @paulgeanta i was also having this error before

you just have to delete the windows update files by: C:/Windows/SoftwareDistribution, just delete the DOWNLOAD folder after that run windows update troubleshooter, then run sfc scan via administrative permission in cmd command

 sfc /scannow

then just try it again

if it fails try the update in clean boot via

win + r, type msconfig

then services hide all microsoft services then disable all

then restart your pc and try it again

 

Thanks!

Now sorted thanks. Found a post on another site which suggested running the System/ Troubleshooter/ Other Trouble Shooters/ Windows Update which found a couple of things requiring attention and I was then able to install the update. Its a large download and the update isn't quick either.

@paulgeanta  SAME! I mean the EXACT same thing for me! It sticks at 60% for a bit (sometimes also at 48% then 60%, but not for quite as long as it sticks at 60%, and it sticks there EVERY TIME) then goes all the way to 100%, reboots, then rolls back the update. Tried a million times!

I did the scan thing and deleting the distribution folder but it still hangs at 14 percent then fails.
I nearly killed my PC trying to update.

 

Leaving it for now until a new fix is made by MS.

Did you try the clean boot step
Tried many times, sticks at 60%!
(please send me your build number)
mine was stucking at 64% and then black screen and was saying failed.

if your build is lower than 22593.1 follow these solutions:-

solution1: before updating remove all external drive, DVD, etc.. if it fails then solution 2
solution2: Ensure that you have enough disk space then scan your disk for bad sectors steps:-
step1 Run cmd as administrator
step 2 Press Enter after typing chkdsk C: /f /r. (C is the letter of the drive where you save your operating system.)

Note: If you see that “Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts” in the Command Prompt windows, then type Y on the keyboard.

solution 3 Upgrade bios. steps:-

If these dont work then only one solution is left






Reset This PC
