Windows 11 updates are causing issues once again, but it’s not what you might expect. Rather than any known bugs on the new versions, many people are struggling to install them in the first place.
This problem applies to both monthly security updates and Windows Insider Program builds from April, with ‘0xc1900101’ the most common error message. Frustratingly, Windows 11 doesn’t provide any reason why it can’t be uninstalled.
On affected devices, the most common outcome is rolling back to the previous version just before it looks like the download will be completed. But as Windows Latest reports, users running virtual machines may see their software crash entirely.
The specific cause remains a mystery, but plenty of people have been speculating. Some believe it to be an app compatibility issue, while others suspect a bug within one of the updates.

Users often report Windows update errors on Microsoft’s support forum, as well as other tech support-related websites. Those are issues that occur when users try to update Windows 10 and 11 via Settings. When such an update issue arises, Settings displays an error message that reads, “there were some problems installing updates, but we’ll try again later."
Those update errors have unique codes, such as 0x800f0816, for reference. Although they have different codes, they all stop Windows downloading and installing patches or build updates much the same. These are the various ways you fix those update errors in Windows 11.
