It&#8217;s supposed to block any malicious content from loading on a website, which could give malware infection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this network ad-blocker may eventually interfere with Windows Update, thus causing errors like 0xc1900223.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To <strong>disable Pi-Hole<\/strong>, hit the <kbd>Win<\/kbd> + <kbd>R<\/kbd> key combination, type in <code class=\"inline\">cmd<\/code>, and then press <kbd>Ctrl<\/kbd> + <kbd>Shift<\/kbd> + <kbd>Enter<\/kbd> to open <strong>Command Prompt<\/strong> as an administrator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, type in the command <code class=\"inline\">pihole disable<\/code> and press <kbd>Enter<\/kbd>. <br>If the update finishes, then <strong>re-enable Pi-Hole<\/strong> by typing <code class=\"inline\">pihole enable<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To <strong>uninstall Pi-Hole<\/strong>, perform the same steps above to open <strong>Command Prompt as an administrator<\/strong> and type in <code class=\"inline\">pihole uninstall<\/code> then <kbd>Enter<\/kbd>. After that, restart your computer and try again to update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Enable_GetCurrent_and_SysReset_Folders\"><\/span>Step 2: Enable $GetCurrent and $SysReset Folders<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These folders hold files that can assist the update process. To reveal hidden folders:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In <strong>File Explorer<\/strong>, enable \u201cHidden items\u201d under the <strong>View<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Navigate to <strong>C:\/$GetCurrent<\/strong> and double-click on \u201cmedia.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Reset_Windows_Update_Components\"><\/span>Step 3: Reset Windows Update Components<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Resetting the update components can fix issues in the update pipeline. Open Command Prompt with admin rights and execute these commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code class=\"inline\">net stop wuauserv<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code class=\"inline\">net stop cryptSvc<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code class=\"inline\">net stop bits<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code class=\"inline\">net stop msiserver<\/code>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rename <strong>SoftwareDistribution<\/strong> to <strong>SoftwareDistribution.old<\/strong>, then restart the services by replacing stop with start in each command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If these suggestions don\u2019t solve the issue, consider using the <strong>\u201cUpgrade this PC Now\u201d<\/strong> feature of the <strong>Media Creation Tool<\/strong> or manually install the update through the \u201cMicrosoft Update Catalog.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always ensure to backup your data before making any significant changes, and don\u2019t hesitate to seek professional help if the problem persists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alternative_Approaches_for_Persistent_Issues\"><\/span>Alternative Approaches for Persistent Issues<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manual_Installation_Using_Media_Creation_Tool\"><\/span>Manual Installation Using Media Creation Tool<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For updates that refuse to install, download the latest feature update directly through Microsoft\u2019s <strong>Media Creation Tool<\/strong>. This approach bypasses potential server communication issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clear_the_Software_Distribution_Folder\"><\/span>Clear the Software Distribution Folder<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, the update might get stuck due to corrupted files in the <strong>Software Distribution<\/strong> folder. Reboot into Safe Mode, delete the <strong>Software Distribution<\/strong> folder, and then restart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Problems with the Media Creation Tool<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Some users face errors, like 0xC1900101 \u2013 0x20017, during Windows reinstallations via the Media Creation Tool. Sharing SetupDiag logs can assist with troubleshooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deleting the Software Distribution Folder<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Clearing the Software Distribution folder in Safe Mode, followed by a fresh download from Microsoft, can often resolve update issues. This folder holds Windows update files, and deleting it may fix problems caused by corrupted or incomplete files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span><strong>FAQs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>What is a Windows update error 0xc1900223?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>It&#8217;s basically an error because something is going wrong with the communication of Microsoft Update servers due to DNS settings or interfering antivirus applications.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>How can I turn off Pi-Hole for some time?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>Press the Windows Key + X and select Command Prompt, type `pihole disable`, press Enter.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><strong>Is it safe to update Windows manually using Media Creation Tool?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p>Yeah, it is a utility provided by Microsoft.
