A lot of people are also getting this error code when installing Windows 10 0xc1900101-0x30018 as well as 80070057 as seen in my previous post. You will see the below error screen.
The installation failed in the FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during SYSPREP operation.
The solution to the 0xc1900101-0x30018 error is a fairly straight forward one though thankfully.
Fix Windows 10 0xc1900101-0x30018 Error
Follow the below steps then restart the installation, whether from the Windows 10 ISO or the auto update.
- Disable all AV and Malware scanning temporarily.
- Disable the Windows firewall AND and 3rd party firewall.
- If you have any USB devices attached, remove them all BAR the keyboard and mouse.
- Restart the install.
This appears to be an issue that should of been picked up during the testing phase but is an incompatiblity with various 3rd party apps and hardware.
