It looks like Windows 10 version 2004 has one more issue. A number of reports are circulating on the Internet that Windows Media Creation tool fails to upgrade the OS to the latest Windows 10 version 2004.

Windows 10 version 2004 is already known for a number of upgrade issues. There are a couple of bugs in the OS related to the built-in OneDrive app and its Files on-Demand feature. The company is working hard to resolve them, but users continue to report new incidents of unexpected behavior. The Storage Spaces misbehavior, now confirmed by Microsoft, is probably the worst of them.

Latest reports involve the Windows Media Creation tool, which fails to the following error:

0xC1900101 - 0x20017

The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during BOOT operation.

Microsoft provides a support page for this specific error, which contains the following mitigation steps:

Ensure that all that drivers are updated.
Open the Setuperr.log and Setupact.log files in the %windir%\Panther directory, and then locate the problem drivers.

But it looks like the affected users are out of luck by now.

The Reddit comes with a right tip: If you are affected, it is better to wait for a bit more. Eventually, the OS will become available through Windows Update for your device, and then there will be a chance that it will be installed smoothly.

  1. Another bug is that the windows disk optimation tool keeps saying that there is no optimation executed.
    But it has, it just ‘ forget’ it.
