Jim Everson :
I am trying to update my Windows 8 Dell 1747 laptop to Windows 8.1 using the store App.
I get error 0XC1900101-0x3000D at 24% of the Applying Personal Settings part, right at the very end of the install. Have retried several times including updating the video driver, and blowing away the download from the data store folder etc. and re-downloading. same error at 24% every time. Anyone to the rescue?
Okay s I have been digging around as I am having the same problem and the information I have gathered has led me to believe it is happening to people with discrete graphics cards. Some people have said that uninstalling there video card driver and updating has worked (didn't work for me). I thought maybe updating to an Windows 8.1 driver would work (didn't work for me). I read one guy disabled his card in the bios menu from the boot up (never really got around to this it takes about 2 hours each time it fails so I already lost a lot of time).
From what I have found it is a driver issue with the update process. It is not recognizing drivers and causes the update to reboot and attempt to recognize driver but fails (or something like that).
All that being said apparently Microsoft is working on a fix and it should be coming in the very near future.
Maybe some of this will help for you guys but I have had no luck. I am just going to wait for Microsoft's update as all these restores could damage files on my system. I am lucky it hasn't yet but I don't want to take that risk.
Good Luck
Side not my error code is 0xC1900101 - 0x40017
