    All in one USB Stick


    Hi,

    Is there anyway to create a all in one install USB stick using the media creation tool. I have 2 pc's running windows 10 Pro and a laptop running windows 10 Home . It just saves me having to have 2 separate install USB Sticks.

    I have seen torrents available but I'd rather create one myself so I know it doesn't contain any viruses etc.

    Thanks

    :)

  2. Bitlocker will not detect USB stick

    Hi

    I'm having trouble with BitLocker.

    I've got two encrypted laptops, one made by Asus, the other by Sony. Both are encrypted with Bitlocker but neither have a TPM module, so I've made the various policy changes and use a USB stick to decrypt them as they boot. All is good.

    However, the USB stick, which hangs off my keyring, was cheap, and the plastic case has now completely fallen apart, so all I'm left with is the metal innards! I fear that although it currently works (if I can hold enough of it to insert into the laptop
    - it's tiny), it'll probably stop working soon.

    So, I bought myself a new metal USB memory stick of the same size as the old one (16Gb). I formatted it as FAT32. I tried copying the code across from the old memory stick to the new one, which seemed to work without a problem. However, when I boot the laptops,
    neither of them will detect this USB stick - they both say "Please insert the USB device containing the encryption key" (or words to that effect). If I insert the old (broken!) USB stick, they both boot fine.

    Thinking that I couldn't just copy the code, I tried another way, by going to Control Panel --> BitLocker Drive Encryption, then inserting the new USB stick and clicking "Copy startup key". I select the new USB stick, and click "Save". On one laptop, the
    window simply disappears at this point, but the key isn't copied onto the new stick. On the other laptop, I get the error "The startup key couldn't be created. Try again or restart the BitLocker wizard"

    Assuming that this was simply a faulty or incompatible USB stick (despite it working fine for standard file storage) I bought another USB stick. This one was more expensive, and was made by Kingston Memory. Identical results. I tried formatting the USB disk.
    I tried deleting the partition on the USB disk and then re-creating it, and re-formatting it. Same problem.

    In despair, I bought a third USB stick, from yet another manufacturer. I wondered if it was to do with Bitlocker having a problem with USB 3, so I bought a USB 2 memory stick. Still exactly the same issue on both laptops.

    I really need to find a solution to this - I don't mind buying yet another memory stick, but I need to know what makes some sticks (okay, one stick) compatible, and others not compatible, otherwise I'm going to have a thousand USB sticks and still no working
    BitLocker.

    Can anyone help?

  3. Windows defender offline don´t work because cannot updated

    Thank you for help.

    I didn t understand your advice.

    If I install Windows Defender Offline, it creates at once the utility on my USB stick.

    I cannot install something without a media (as USB). So I do not have the programm twice - one time in computer and one time on stick.

    All possibillities for download are old.

    Or do you mean I have to enforce it by giving a directory instead of the USB stick?

    Thank you for help
