Hello!

So I have been having issues with downloading the 22H2 on Windows 10 for quite some time now.

Whenever I have tried to download it it just says pending restart and if restarted it says that all of the update features could not be downloaded.

It also gives me the 0xc1900101 error code.

I have tried to update it multiple times, I have also tried resetting the pc but that also did not work.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Try the Update with a Windows 10 ISO file.

Download link for a Windows 10 22h2 EN-US Iso:

Windows 10 en-us Iso

When you need a other language iso let it me know.

When you have downloaded the iso,

cut the Internet Connection,

perform a clean boot:

make a double click on the iso file and then start the setup.exe

and so on…

    Hi!

    Sadly still no progress, I updated the chipset drivers and restarted the computer but it still gets stuck on getting things ready.

    Although it earlier went to 100% but then still got stuck. And update assistance is also not an option anymore as I can not use it because I can not pause windows update.
