Windows 8.1 upgrade error 0xC1900101-0x40017

Hi
I purchased a Lenovo Thinkpad X220 Tablet model 4294-CTO directly from you. It came with a factory installed F5521gw Mobile Broadband option. The only change I have made to it is to install and additional 4GB of compatible memory shortly after i purchased it. Last year It was upgraded to windows 8 pro and I have installed all updates using your system upgrade 5 program and have installed all windows important and optional updates. I have also installed all your applicable Windows 8.1 drivers.
When I attempt to upgrage it to windows 8.1 using the windows store it fails on the first boot after installing the update with the error 0xC1900101-0x40017 and restores Windows 8.
I have done all the troubleshooting I can think of, including disabling all drivers not needed and all startup programs.
I have attemped the upgrade at least 15 times, including downloading the update a second time.
Can you please help me to complete this upgrade.
I you require any further information please contact me.

Frank,
Based on the compatibility list on our support site here, Lenovo is not supporting X220 on Windows 8.1
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?DocID=HT079684
If you plug that error code into the microsoft support site, there are a lot of hits on their forums.
Here is the search page I used and I just plugged in your error code http://support.microsoft.com/search/
Here is one thread that may be helpful:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-windows_install/couldnt-update-to-window...
The explaination there suggests that one needs to run all Windows 8 updates before doing the 8.1 install, but you indicate you have already done this. You might check some of the other threads in that search result to see if there are more potential clues.
Hopefully, other X220 users here will add on with their experience and feedback.

Windows 8.1 update error 0xc1900101 - 0x40017, Solved?

I got this error 0xc1900101 - 0x40017 when i try to update to windows 8.1.
so i tried updating my drivers, uninstalling, updating, re installing the old version of drivers that came with this laptop and updating and still didn't work.
i thought it might be the some application on this computer that's causing this problem. and i thought avast was causing this problem, because it was not compatible with windows 8 when it came out, and it has kernal driver.
so i uninstalled it and tried to install windows 8.1 update, and guess what? it worked.
but why didn't the windows 8.1 update assistant didn't warn me about this?
didn't it know about this?
the update assistant said my bluetooth is out of date even though i updated it with the link update manager gave.
it just kept saying update it available even thou i installed it and rebooted my computer.

Windows 8.1 Error 0xC1900101 – 0x40017

I have an HP Envy DV7 7200 quad series notebook and have been trying to upgrade to Win 8.1. I keep encountering an error (0xC1900101 – 0x40017) as the upgrade is finalizing PC settings. Ultimately I get a BSOD and the OS reverts back to Win 8. Multiple forums indicate driver issues, and some refer specifically to video adapter drivers or USB drivers. I've attempted the update with absolutely no peripherals attached to no resolve.
Anyone seeing this issue, and if so, know of the solution?

Hi,
I would suggest to follow the link to see if your unit has been tested by HP with Windows 8.1.
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/ad/windows-8/upgrade.html
If it has come with Windows 8 preinstalled then, your unit should be able to get the update without any issues.
You can follow the steps mentioned in the link below to update your PC with Windows 8.1

Thanks for the links. Obviously I'll be waiting for an "official" 8.1 update for my laptop.
I have to say though...it's fascinating how a laptop that is less than a year old, and came factory built with Win 8, can't (yet) be updated to Win 8.1...

Horizon 27 version1 Windows 8.1 upgrade error

Hi all,
I tried to upgrade to windows 8.1 on my Horizon, but it always failed with error 0xC1900101 and 0x20017.
I've updated all drivers and applications, uninstall antivirus, disable firewall, check if encrypted software exist, also reset windows store cache.
I have moved the OS to and SSD mSATA, so I thought that could be the issue, but have also reboot from the HDD and tried to upgrade also with no luck.
Did you upgrade your Horizon to windows 8.1 ? how easy ? because of the lake of all pre-installed applications/games on and DVD, I would not like to do a clean install.
Thanks

hi itou31,
I don't have the IdeaCentre Horizon for testing but can you consider the following:
1. Perform a clean boot (this is to ensure that non-microsoft running service/apps aren't causing the issue)
2. Disable all connected peripherals (mouse, external drives, etc.)
3. Run Windows Update to get the latest patch and bug fixes for Windows 8.
When finished, run the Windows 8.1. upgrade from the Microsoft Store and observe.

Hello there, G-Oker.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for the very error message you are receiving:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Particularly:
Check USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Windows 8.1 upgrade Error - 00x80070652

When i download Windows 8.1 it goes through and restrarts. when the restart upgrades it returns message that error detected reverting back to Windows 8. I get the error code 00x80070652

Hi,
Please post the HP product number for your PC.
This Windows Community thread may be of interest.
There are some important steps to take prior to doing the upgrade. Review this MS posted document. Be sure to run the upgrade assistant.
Be sure that Windows 8 has all of the latest MS updates installed. There are prerequisite patches that are required.
Be sure that you have at least 40 GB of hard disk free space.
Back up your data to external media.
Make a Windows 8 recovery media to external media before doing the upgrade. I prefer to use a third party hard drive imaging program.
Temporarily disable the antivirus software.
You will need to reinstall your programs after the upgrade so make note of which ones are required.
Check the HP Support site for Window 8.1 updates for your particular PC. If you don't see any updates then your PC has not been tested/certified with Windows 8.1.

Upgrade to Windows 8.1 keeps failing - error 0xC1900101

I can't seem to update to windows 8.1 it gives me this error after logging in again:
"Couldn't update to Windows 8.1
Sorry, we couldn't complete the update to Windows 8.1. We've restored your previous version of Windows to this PC.
0xC1900101 - 0x40017"
The funny thing is that a few weeks ago I already updated to windows 8.1 but because of a faulty driver and not being able to boot into safe mode I had to renew my windows and downgrade to windows 8.0. But now I can't seem to update to windows 8.1 anymore. I installed all the windows updates even the optional ones. So I did a factory reset and uninstalled everything that didn't seemed necessary for windows so the update would go smoother. I found a toshiba page with a tutorial to how to update to 8.1 and it told me to uninstall the following:
Genesys Logic
Intel PROSet
Intel Wireless Display
Realtek-audio driver
TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor
Realtek WLAN driver
Realtek Bluetooth Filter driver
and on another page it told me to uninstall anything related with toshiba so I did all that and these are programs I currently have:
http://oi58.tinypic.com/2ak028l.png
I also tried with a clean boot but still no change. My graphics driver atm is version 8.9 while the most recent released version is 13.12 but toshiba only release update 12.1 for windows 8.1 and I did try installing that but it just got me into a endless boot loop.
My laptop:
Toshiba Satellite C855-255
PSCBYE-05000NDU
Could you guys please help me? I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

When I attempt to upgrade an app in iTunes for windows, I get an error: "Could not purchase. An unknown error occurred (11111). There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later"

When I attempt to upgrade an app in iTunes for windows, I get an error: "Could not purchase. An unknown error occurred (11111). There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later"
I am running the latest iTunes 10.7.0.21 for Windows 7.
This error occurs if I try to either update the app or if I delete it and attempt to redownload.
I have an iPhone and an iPad. I am unable to update the apps or install the apps from within the App Store on iOS.
I do not have an AOL ID, as is a common issue with this type of error.
From what I can tell, my Apple ID account seems fine. I logged in, changed some information, and ensured my credit card is valid and updated.
I can download new apps just fine. I am unable to update or install apps I have purchased in the past.

After 30 minutes this morning, no resolution. Then another tech support call this afternoon, 15 minutes in, was escalated to a Tier 2 (Senior) advisor. He said something similar to the above ("this is one of the strangest things I've seen"). He was chatted with iTunes guys and took all my info into the case and was escalating it over to engineering. Said they would be in touch.
So, no solution...yet.
Just to clarify:
iTunes on Windows7: trying to update an existing app, or re-download a prior app, gives the (11111) error. Downloading a new (free) app worked fine.
App Store on iPhone5, iOS 6.0.1: click on UPDATE, switches to INSTALLING...for a second, then switches back to UPDATE. No error message (and nothing in Diagnostic data).
App Store on iPad 3, iOS 6.0.1: same as iPhone 5.
Definitely account related.
I have cleared the store cache, signed out and back in, deleted the credit card data, and re-added, rebooting PC and iPhone...nothing works.
Will post if I hear anything back from Apple.

Soyouca how did you install Photoshop Lightroom? Please uninstall the current installation using the uninstaller located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.
Once Photoshop Lightroom is removed please download a fresh copy of the installation files from Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh. The update contains the full installer so please download the latest version of Photoshop Lightroom 5.

HP Envy dv7 - Windows 8.1 upgrade consistently fails

I have been trying for several weeks to upgrade my Envy dv7 laptop, and after spending several hours it eventually fails, popping up a message about failure 0xC1900101 - 0x40017. I am then forced to wait an extended time for this upgrade process to restore my previous version. As a result of this exercise I lose my laptop for 6-8 hours. Apart from the above message no useful information about exactly what failed is presented, which is infuriating because if I knew what was clobbering the upgrade I might be able to fix it - this laptop is rich with development tools and upgrades which might not be installed on a typical laptop, so I presume one of those might be causing problems. However all service packs and updates have been installed and unless Microsoft tell me what is causing the failure then I have zero chance of upgrading. The upgrade process goes thru a reboot and then a lengthy period with a 'Setting up' message gradually climbing to 100%. The failure occurs late in the process of 'Saving PC configuration'. From the appearance it looks as though the upgrade goes 99% of the way before failing.

I tried, and once again suffered an epic fail. I just wasted another 5 hours. The upgrade process went all the way through, then a failure was detected on boot up. It tried again, same result, so without giving me any choice it automatically installed my previous operating system. Then on boot up it shoved a big message in my face telling me how sorry they were that the upgrade failed. This is absolutely infuriating. I consider this upgrade process to be a monumental failure by Microsoft. Not because of the failure itself because I can accept things do fail - but of the complete lack of information provided about what caused the failure. Microsoft are not giving me any chance of being able to resolve this issue by understanding what is causing these failures. All I get is unhelpful messages saying FAILED. Why is it so difficult for the upgrade process to record a log file as it goes thru the process? What p's me off is that my Windows 8 continually pesters me to upgrade to Windows 8.1. When I try, it fails- treating me like the village idiot by withholding information about what is causing the failure. I've no idea why Microsoft would want to withhold such information. So far I have tried 3 times to do this upgrade, and probably spent the best part of 24 hours not being able to use my laptop whilst Microsoft's hopeless operating system upgrade fails. I now have a very expensive HP laptop which will shortly become a brick due to my not being able to upgrade the operating system - in due course Microsoft will withdraw support for Windows 8 and I won't be able to do any upgrades. Very unhappy user here.

Welcome to the HP Forums MillaMagia,
I see by your post that the USB isn't being recognized.
I can help you with this issue.
Are you using the same USB cable? (known good USB cable)
You want to use the normal USB slot 2.0 cable and not the latest USB 3.0.
USB 3.0 are supposed to be backwards compatible.
Try another USB port on the Laptop, some of the USB ports are more powered then others.
I have provided a document to see if the printer is partially recognized in the device manager, which is causing the printer not to be recognized again. (the uninstall from the CD should have removed the entry and the printer from the registry)
Leave the printer turned on and the USB cable connected directly to the computer and the printer's power cord directly into a wall outlet.
How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
Here is a document for Identifying problems in Windows Device Manager.
Check to see if there are any hardware driver conflicts, you might see a ! mark or a red x beside a device with a conflict or unknown device, look under universal serial bus controllers, look for USB printing support or mass storage device, delete the entry by right clicking and select uninstall, OK.
Let me know how it was listed. (screen shots welcome)
If this is a Laptop then check the power management settings.
Access the device manager. Windows 8-How do I access the Device Manager.
Select universal serial bus controllers from the list, for each USB root hub, right click and left click on properties, for power management remove the check mark for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". It allows the computer to limit or turn off power for this device.
Disconnect the USB, run the full uninstall and reinstall the printer software again.
If you need further assistance, let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.
