Windows 8.1 upgrade from Windows 8 results in "0xc1900101 - 0x400017" error (fix)

When I say fix, this is actually a very simple problem assuming your manufacturer has updated drivers.  Go to your mobo manufacturer website, download and install the latest drivers.
By doing this I got my ASUS Z9PE-D8 WS to work fine.  Windows 8.1 has been very well worth the upgrade too.

Also install the latest Nvidia drivers.

Once you have done that, try again.

Note, some boards like the EVGA SR-X I couldn't get going with this fix, as EVGA is working on a Bios fix.

Compatibility 
My compatibility has improved for a number of programs.  Some have had mixed opinions as far as this goes though, so check if your programs work in windows 8.1.
- Eon Vue xstream 11 and 2014 work fine for me.
- Cinema 4D r14 & 15 seem to work fine also.
- Premiere and AE CC all work.
- Protools 10 & 11 work.

Thoughts

Windows 8.1 improves things nicely.  Not a game changer, but certainly worth the download.

That is all.
