  • Unable to upgrade to 8.1 Windows message 0xC190010B - 0 x 30018.

    Original title: Samsung All-in_One.

    I have a Samsung all-in-One (DP500A2d-A01UB).  My 'build' (BIOS?) is 6.2.9200 build 9200.  No matter what I do, I can't go to W8.1 W8

    I tried a clean boot

    I ran the update from Samsung

    I disconnected all devices

    Nothing. Works.

    The installation hangs when it comes to "installing devices 3%."  At this point, the computer crashes and when I restart, it cancels W8 with the message 0xC190010B - 0 x 30018.  I have also received the 0xC1900101 - 0 x 20003.

    Samsung is absolutely, totally, completely useless.  They keep giving me the same suggestion, which is to update my drivers.  This happens with SW update, I.  They also suggested - shockingly - that I update my bios with an amazing set of instructions consisting of 5 pages.  I searched this online procedure and, apparently, if done properly, will transform your computer into a brick.

  • XPS 13 (9343) - unable to upgrade to Windows 10 - error 0xC1900101 0 x 30018

    I have a brand new 13 XPS, 9343 model with i7 processor and 512 GB SSD. I'm still within the period of 14 days, and I'm now seriously returning. I've never known such a load of nonsense trying to install any other piece of software.

    So far, and after many attempts, I was completely unable to upgrade to Windows 10. The first thing I did was to install all the Windows updates available for 8.1 (there were 79 of them), and immediately after that I started the saga to install Win10. Nothing else has been done to the laptop - no questionable software or USB devices (except the USB boot if necessary). It is in a State of cleanliness.

    -After the download via Windows Update, the installation procedure is INCREDIBLY slow (for example, it takes 36 HOURS to reach 42% completion - and at this point, it hits the error message). What the heck can he do?

    -J' also tried to create a bootable USB drive via the media creation tool. If I boot from the USB key and perform a "clean" installation, it works perfectly: it takes about 8 minutes total (which highlights how ridiculous the 36 hours). However, because it is a clean installation and not an 'upgrade', I find myself with a non-activated version of Windows 10 and I am asked to pay £99.99, I don't intend to do. I paid for the laptop on the understanding, he would get a FREE upgrade to Win10!

    -J' also tried using the USB key (but not the start of it) to perform the upgrade in place - this strikes the same mistake as Windows Update (and taking so long)

    -J' tried to uninstall all antivirus software, and disable all wireless/bluetooth devices before performing the upgrade - nothing of this aid. Because need me 36 HOURS per attempt, it is really not acceptable to try disabling things randomly in the vain hope that it might work correctly.

    When trying to upgrade (i.e. not), I hit an error message "Windows Setup cannot set up Windows on your hardware" or similar. During the recovery after the failure, tool configuration gives the 0xC1900101 error code 0 x 30018 and says it failed in operation 'FIRST_BOOT', the phase SYSPREP. Just make this error message cost me 36 hours of waiting (welcome to the future!), then it would be really helpful if someone could give me a definitive answer on what makes...

    Help, please! Auuughhh

    Hello

    Vista to XP is a downgrade!

    After installing XP, did you get XP drivers on HP website? See...

    http://WWW8.HP.com/UK/en/support-drivers.html

    .. .to locate your particular model, then download and install the XP drivers (if there no, no guarantee if your PC comes with Vista originally).

    I tried the model number you gave, but there are 41 possible matches, so I think that pv6000 is a "series" rather than a specific model number.

  • Unable to upgrade to Windows 10 due to display and CPU Incompaitibility?

    OK, so it was after a much less powerful Pc, another Member of the family had, was able to get Windows 10 without a problem, but when I tried to upgrade it says that my CPU and screen are not compatible? Seriously? The two pieces of hardware are over $ 500 and it is not compatible? What is c? the PC in comparison was an old Alienware Area 51, acquired in 2003.

    My screen, assuming that that means that my graphics card is an Nvidia Geforce GTX 680 Galaxy

    My processor is an Intel Core i7 cpu 960 3.20 GHz

    It was high-end, several years back, and I don't have the money to upgrade these two pieces of equipment just to get Windows 10. If indeed, my hardware is not able to be used, then it seems that I am stuck with Windows 7, even though the support falls. What gives?

  • No Bluetooth after upgrade to 8.1 Windows - model 1104TX (ENVY m6)

    Hello

    My system is HP Envy m6 1104tx. It came with Windows 8 (64-bit) preinstalled and everything was going well until I chose to upgrade to 8.1 Windows.

    After checking with CompMgmt.msc, I found that I had 3290 RaLink 802.11 Wi - Fi adapter. Just below NICs, I have "Other devices" and under "Bluetooth Controller" with a yellow exclamation mark on the subject. I tried to update the drivers, but it says "Windows failed to install the controller bluetooth"(pas pu trouver pilote logiciel pour votre périphérique). "»

    I've updated almost all possible device drivers, but this 'Bluetooth controller' still shows a yellow exclamation mark on it.

    Also in CompMgmt.msc I can't find "Bluetooth" or "Bluetooth Module" but on the contrary, there is a 'profiles Bluetooth device' and inside this 'Bluetooth Interface Driver profile '. I tried to update, but the result was still once, as mentioned above.

    So, how to solve this? How to make implementing Bluetooth on my m6 desire?

    PS And yes I ran Technical Assistance from HP, but it says everything is fine. And in reality it is not, Bluetooth does not.

    RENJ

    Thanks Makachaka,

    I really appreciate your time and your help. However your suggestion came a little too late.

    I had already solved my problem with Bluetooth using the instructions contained in the following web page:

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows8_1-hardware/Bluetooth-systemthreadexceptionnothandled-blue/e9e410d4-ef73-40C2-9e4e-b05c5d604c6c?LC=2057&auth=1

    The gap only I took while troubleshooting from the procedure described in the page Microsoft above was that I didn't not apply the patch from Intel Bluetooth. The rest was exactly as described. Problem solved for me.

    @Makachaka: thanks and have a great year!
