Method 1: Turn off some services (Firewall and Antivirus)

Sometimes, this error is caused by Windows security settings. A review of your firewall and antivirus settings may help to fix the 0xe0000100 error.

How to turn off Windows Firewall

You can also turn off Windows Defender from the Settings:

• Open Windows Settings (Windows key + I).

• Select “Updates and Security”.

• Go to “Windows Defender”.

• Turn off the settings.

How to turn off your Antivirus

Right-click on the antivirus icon on Windows taskbar and turn it off.

Method 2: Use System File Checker

If the method above could not fix the 0xe0000100 error message, then you should run an SFC scan.

• Right-click on the Start menu icon and choose “Command Prompt (Admin)”

• Write the following command into the terminal: “SFC /scannow”

• This will trigger a scanning process; it usually takes a while, so you have to wait.

When the scan finishes running, you can go back to installing the update file and check if the error has been fixed.

If the SFC scan does not work, try the command "chkdsk C: /f” (without quotes and remember to replace “c” with your hard drive letter).

Method 3: Install the update from a bootable drive

Another way to install the update without getting the 0xe0000100 error message is by using bootable/installation media. This is typically for performing a clean installation, which will delete everything that’s saved on your hard drive.
