I have exhausted all of the resources I can find on the subject and non have fixed my problem so I was thinking that EMC may be able to help. Problem: I have been trying to upgrade my windows 8 laptop (came with windows 7 originally) to 8.1. Sadly, I receive the error "0xC1900101 0x2000C" every time I run the update. During the reboot, my laptop shuts off without warning. When I turn my pc back on, it restores windows 8 and gives me that error. I have been told it is a driver issue but I have no clue which one or how to begin looking. What I have tried: Everything posted here. I also ran another fixit utility from Microsoft but no help. Additional information: My laptop is Toshiba and is supported for the update to windows 8.1. I have checked their site and ensured I had the latest drivers. Anyone have suggestions or experienced the problem?
I thought it was the Minecraft 1.8 Update not Windows lol I dont know if it even is possible to do that?
The windows 8.1 update has been out for a while as a free download in the store. Also i realize the title is very vague. Could a mod add windows before the 8.1.
Hmmm as I have a Macbook when I updated for school I had to manually reselect the drivers that I wanted to use in the driver manager, so I couldn't use my mouse. Windows 8.1 seems to reset all the drivers. Your laptop should have come with a driver disk maybe? not sure...
If possible, stay at windows 8 (not 8.1) If you feel the need to install 8.1, I suggest looking up the driver issues you are getting and/or looking up a video on how to fix it
Sadly, I have a error that only a small handful of people have meaning there are no real resource available. I am hoping someone here may know about the issue and maybe fixed it on their computer. Any help is appreciated.
As a Mac person (you know and so does your brother) I really do not have much experience with windows but here is what I know from my mac. Sometime the installation just takes up too much RAM or overwhelms the computer. I would try a few things make sure all applications are closed before the update. It might help connect the computer to a power source while updating. it might keep it alive. My mac will use 50% of the battery when updating and it drains 1% every 5 minutes durring a major update (upgrading to OS X 1.8 from 1.7) if all else fails, spam it
When my laptop gets a virus I shut it off completely and let it chill for a day. This surprisingly works for me; and also raging at it... Anyways I think stayin on 8 is your best bet till they find a solution. ;3
8.1 is such a joke. I wouldn't suggest updating at all, it has errors, and it will make everything slow for you. This is why i stayed with 8 only. I to have a toshiba and heard that 8.1 was buggy and just not good at all.
its about the same for me. no noticeable difference. i still get 550 fps in minecraft and locked at 60 fps in everything else.
Windows 8.1 is so much better, though. There's every reason to upgrade. Sadly, I think this means that your computer doesn't support 8.1 I have been running 8.1 for 4-6 months perfectly fine.
