Streamlining Your Windows 10 Upgrade: A Clear Resolution Guide for Windows Clients
Upgrading to a new version of Windows 10 is a common process for many users and organizations. While often smooth, it can sometimes encounter issues resulting in specific error codes. Understanding these codes is the first step towards a successful resolution. This guide explores some frequently encountered error codes during the Windows 10 upgrade process, outlining their potential causes and offering effective troubleshooting steps.
Before diving into specific errors, it’s helpful to understand where to find information about a failed upgrade attempt. If an upgrade fails, Windows Setup typically displays an error code directly. Additionally, detailed information can often be found in the Windows Event Log and in the Windows Setup log files. These log files, such as setuperr.log, provide valuable clues about the specific point of failure and the underlying cause. Microsoft also provides a diagnostic tool, SetupDiag, which can automate the analysis of these logs to identify the root cause of an upgrade failure.
Common Upgrade Error Codes¶
Many error codes indicate general system issues rather than problems unique to the upgrade process itself. However, some codes are particularly prevalent during upgrades and point towards specific types of conflicts or failures. Recognizing these common patterns can significantly expedite troubleshooting.
Error Code 0xC1900101¶
The error code 0xC1900101 is one of the most frequently reported issues during a Windows 10 upgrade. This code is a generic indicator of a rollback, meaning the system encountered a critical error after the downlevel phase and reverted to the previous operating system version. A rollback often suggests an incompatibility issue, most commonly related to device drivers. Outdated or incompatible drivers can lead to unexpected behavior like blue screens, system hangs, or spontaneous reboots during the upgrade sequence.
Detailed analysis of supplemental log files is often necessary to pinpoint the exact driver or component causing the rollback. Key logs to examine include the minidump file ($Windows.~bt\Sources\Rollback\setupmem.dmp), system and application Event Logs ($Windows.~bt\Sources\Rollback*.evtx), and the device install log ($Windows.~bt\Sources\Rollback\setupapi\setupapi.dev.log). The device install log is particularly useful if the rollback occurs during the system preparation (Sysprep) phase of the upgrade, often indicated by an extend code like 0x30018.
To address rollbacks caused by driver conflicts, a common strategy is to run the upgrade process with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. Performing a clean boot before initiating the upgrade can help isolate conflicts by disabling non-essential services and startup items. This reduces the number of variables and increases the likelihood of identifying the problematic driver or software.
Let’s examine specific variations of the 0xC1900101 error code and their associated troubleshooting steps:
| Code | Cause | Mitigation that are important in understanding upgrade failures. The tool attempts to extract and analyze the setup.log files to determine the exact nature of the failure. If SetupDiag fails to automatically find the root cause of the failure, the tool prompts you to follow the steps mentioned in Gather information by using TSS for deployment-related issues.
\n\nUpgrade Errors and Possible Causes
\n \n \n \n \n\n\nError Code\nPossible Cause\nMitigation/Resolution\n\n\n\n\n0xC1900101 - 0x20004
\n0xC1900101 - 0x2000c
\n0xC1900101 - 0x20017
\n0xC1900101 - 0x30018
\n0xC1900101 - 0x3000d
\n0xC1900101 - 0x4000d
\n0xC1900101 - 0x40017
\n\n\nThese errors often indicate driver issues. The failure can occur at various stages of the upgrade (SAFE_OS, WinPE, FIRST_BOOT, SECOND_BOOT) and may be caused by incompatible or outdated drivers, hardware failures, or conflicts with non-Microsoft software like antivirus or disk encryption.
\n\n\nPerform a clean boot to eliminate software conflicts. Update all device drivers to the latest versions, especially graphics, chipset, and storage drivers. Disconnect all unnecessary peripheral devices except the keyboard, mouse, and display. Ensure that the option to “Download and install updates (recommended)” is selected during the upgrade process. Analyze Setup log files (setuperr.log, setupact.log, device install logs) to identify the specific driver or component causing the failure. For complex cases like Citrix VDA conflicts, specific workarounds involving temporary software removal or registry modifications might be necessary (always back up the registry before making changes).
0x80073BC3 - 0x20009
\n0x80070002 - 0x20009
\n0x80073B92 - 0x20009
\n\n\nThese errors occur during the analysis or validation of disk partitions in the WinPE phase. They are frequently caused by the presence of multiple active system partitions, such as when a new OS drive is installed but the old one remains connected and bootable. Sharing violations or conflicts with device identification criteria can also trigger these errors.
\n\n\nDisconnect or temporarily disable any drives containing unused or duplicate system partitions before starting the upgrade. You can usually reconnect these drives after the upgrade is successfully completed. Alternatively, carefully delete the unused system partition if you are certain it is not needed for booting the primary OS.
\n\n\n800704B8 - 0x3001A
\n\n\nAn extended error occurred during the first boot phase of the upgrade.
\n\n\nThis is often caused by software conflicts or unnecessary peripherals. Disable or uninstall non-Microsoft antivirus or security applications. Disconnect all unnecessary external devices. Perform a clean boot to minimize software interference during the first boot phase.
\n\n\n8007042B - 0x4000D
\n\n\nThe installation failed during the second boot phase while attempting to migrate data. This indicates an issue with files, applications, or drivers that could not be successfully moved or configured in the new operating system environment.
\n\n\nAnalyze the setup log files to identify the specific file, application, or driver that is preventing data migration. Based on the logs, update, remove, or replace the identified problematic component. Incompatible security software or file system issues are common culprits.
\n\n\n8007001F - 0x3000D
\n8007001F - 0x4000D
\n\n\nThese errors occur during the data migration process in either the first or second boot phase. They can be caused by issues with user profiles, including corrupt registry entries or invalid files within user directories. Problems with attached devices that are not functioning correctly can also trigger the 0x4000D variation.
\n\n\nFor profile issues, examine the setup logs to find specific files or registry keys blocking migration. Check HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList for corrupt or invalid entries and the \Users directory for invalid files. Delete invalid profiles or files after confirming they are not needed. For device issues (0x4000D), analyze logs to identify the malfunctioning device and disconnect, update, or replace it.
8007042B - 0x4001E
\n\n\nThe installation failed during the second boot phase while attempting the PRE_OOBE (Pre-Out-of-Box Experience) operation. This error is often generic and can have multiple causes.
\n\n\nAttempt general quick fixes for upgrade issues, such as ensuring sufficient disk space, updating drivers, and disconnecting peripherals. If the issue persists, a detailed analysis of the setup log files is necessary to identify the underlying problem that occurred just before the OOBE phase would have started.
\n\n\n0xC1800118
\n\n\nThis specific error code is related to content downloaded from a Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server. It indicates that WSUS has provided upgrade content, but it cannot be used due to a missing decryption key or corrupted metadata.
\n\n\nThis error typically points to an issue with the WSUS server itself or the client’s communication with it. Ensure the WSUS server has the necessary updates installed to correctly handle Windows 10 upgrades. Specific troubleshooting steps often involve reconfiguring WSUS or ensuring required hotfixes are applied server-side.
\n\n\n0xC1900200
\n0xC1900201
\n\n\nThese codes signify that the computer does not meet the minimum system requirements necessary to install or upgrade to Windows 10. Setup.exe performs a compatibility scan and blocks the upgrade if system requirements are not met.
\n\n\nVerify that the computer’s hardware meets the minimum specifications for Windows 10 (CPU, RAM, storage, graphics). Review the compatibility report generated by Setup.exe for specific details on which requirement was not met. Updating hardware components may be necessary if they are below the minimum threshold.
\n\n\n0x80090011
\n\n\nA device driver error occurred during the user data migration phase of the upgrade. This means that while trying to transfer user files and settings, an issue with a driver prevented the operation from completing.
\n\n\nUpdate all device drivers, especially chipset, storage, and potentially peripheral drivers. An active internet connection during the upgrade is recommended to allow Setup to download updated drivers if necessary. Ensure the option to “Download and install updates (recommended)” is selected.
\n\n\n0xC7700112
\n\n\nFailure to complete writing data to the system drive, potentially due to a write access failure or other disk-related issue during the upgrade process.
\n\n\nThis issue has been addressed in newer versions of the Windows Upgrade Assistant tool. Ensure you are using the latest version of the tool if applicable. Verify disk health and permissions. Ensure “Download and install updates (recommended)” is selected during Setup.
\n\n\n0x80190001
\n0x80246007
\n\n\nThese errors indicate problems with downloading the files required for the upgrade. This could be due to network connectivity issues, server problems (like Windows Update or WSUS), or corrupted download files.
\n\n\nEnsure a stable internet connection. Try using alternative methods to obtain the upgrade media, such as downloading and running the Media Creation Tool to create installation media (USB or ISO). If using WSUS, verify its configuration and connectivity. Note that Windows 10 Enterprise edition is not available via the Media Creation Tool and must be obtained through volume licensing channels.
\n\n\n0x80244018
\n\n\nThis error code specifically indicates a problem related to network connectivity through a proxy server when attempting to download updates or upgrade files.
\n\n\nConfigure your network settings correctly. Ensure that “Automatically Detect Settings” is enabled in the Internet Options (Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings). If a proxy is required, verify the proxy settings are correct and the proxy server is accessible and configured to allow connections to Microsoft update servers.
\n\n\n0x80240017
\n\n\nThis means the upgrade is unavailable for the specific edition of Windows currently installed on the machine. This can happen if you are trying to upgrade an unsupported edition or if administrative policies restrict upgrades.
\n\n\nVerify that your current Windows edition is eligible for the upgrade you are attempting to install. If the computer is part of an organizational network, contact your IT administrator, as group policies or other management configurations might be preventing the upgrade.
\n\n\n0x80070020
\n\n\nThis error occurs when Setup cannot access a required file because it is currently being used by another process or application running on the system.
\n\n\nIdentify and close any applications that might be interfering with system files. Performing a clean boot using the MSCONFIG tool is an effective way to start Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs, reducing the chance of file locks during the upgrade process.
\n\n\n0x80070522
\n\n\nThis indicates a permission issue. The user account attempting the upgrade does not have the necessary administrative privileges or credentials to perform the required system modifications.
\n\n\nEnsure that the user account performing the upgrade is a member of the local Administrators group or has sufficient administrative rights on the computer. Log in using a local administrator account or use the “Run as administrator” option when starting the upgrade process.
\n\n\n0xC1900107
\n\n\nA cleanup operation from a previous failed upgrade attempt is still pending completion, and a system reboot is required before a new attempt can be made.
\n\n\nSimply restart the device to allow the pending cleanup operations to finish. If the error persists after restarting, use the Disk Cleanup utility, including the option to clean up “System files,” to remove temporary installation files and remnants from previous attempts.
\n\n\n0xC1900209
\n\n\nThe user canceled the upgrade after the compatibility scan indicated that incompatible software is present, preventing the upgrade from proceeding successfully while migrating installed applications. Setup reports this when it could upgrade the OS and data but cannot migrate certain installed applications.
\n\n\nIdentify the incompatible software listed in the compatibility report generated by Setup.exe. Uninstall the identified application(s) and then attempt the upgrade again. Additional tools like those found in the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) can help with application compatibility analysis.
\n\n\n0x8007002EFE
\n\n\nThis specific error, often seen in Configuration Manager environments (e.g., R2 SP1 CU3), indicates a problem with downloading files, specifically “DownloadFileWithRanges() failed”. The error code 80072efe translates to the connection with the server being terminated abnormally.
\n\n\nThis points to network connectivity issues between the client and the distribution point or Configuration Manager server. Test the OS deployment task sequence on a client within the same network segment or VLAN as the server. Investigate network configuration, firewalls, or potential network instability issues causing dropped connections, especially on remote VLANs.
\n\n\n0x80240FFF
\n\n\nThis error occurs during update synchronization failures, typically when using WSUS, either standalone or integrated with Configuration Manager. It can happen if the WSUS server hasn’t been properly updated to recognize the “Upgrades” classification before attempting to synchronize them, leading to bad metadata or synchronization issues.
\n\n\nEnsure the WSUS server is updated with the necessary components to handle Windows 10 upgrades. If the issue has already occurred, the standard resolution involves disabling the “Upgrades” classification, installing required server updates, deleting previously synchronized (and potentially corrupted) upgrade data from WSUS, re-enabling the “Upgrades” classification, and performing a full synchronization.
\n\n\n0x8007007E
\n\n\nSimilar to 0x80240FFF, this error also relates to WSUS synchronization issues regarding upgrades, especially if the necessary server updates were not installed before enabling the “Upgrades” classification. It manifests on clients as a failure during operations like CopyToCache due to bad metadata on the WSUS server.
\n\n\nTo resolve this, the WSUS server itself needs to be repaired. This process typically involves stopping the Windows Update service on the WSUS server, clearing the c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore directory, and then restarting the Windows Update service. This forces WSUS to rebuild its data store with correct metadata after the necessary updates are applied.
Beyond the common 0xC1900101 and 0x800xxxxx series, several other specific error codes can appear during a Windows 10 upgrade. These codes often pinpoint issues related to media corruption, specific driver installation failures, or insufficient resources like disk space. Understanding these less frequent but still important codes helps in a comprehensive troubleshooting approach.
Here are some additional error codes you might encounter:

setuperr.log, setupact.log) in detail to determine the specific data point or operation that failed during migration. This will help identify the root cause, which could range from permissions issues to corrupted user data or locked files.Modern Setup Errors¶
Modern Setup, often referred to as “mosetup,” is the engine that drives the upgrade process initiated from within the running Windows operating system (unlike booting from installation media). Errors originating from this phase often have codes starting with 0xC1900xxx or similar, specifically prefixed with “MOSETUP_E_”. These codes typically indicate issues detected by the Setup Platform regarding compatibility, user interaction, file integrity, or resource availability before or during the initial stages of the upgrade execution from within Windows.
