error code 0x80072F76 - 0x20017 when trying to run windows 10 media creation tool

Hi Michael,

The error code 0x80072F76 - 0x20017 usually occurs if the Media Creation Tool you're trying to run is corrupted. For us to provide an accurate resolution, we would need you to answer the following questions:

• Which version, build and edition of Windows is currently installed on your device?
• Is the Media Creation Tool locally saved on your computer or are you running it using a flash drive?
• Did you download the Media Creation Tool from the Microsoft website?
• Have you made any recent changes to your computer settings before you encountered this issue?

We are looking forward to your response.

 

media Creation Tool won't run

Hi gentlemen, I am nursing a new laptop again, with win 10 v.1909 on it.
After running into problems with HELLO and Passwords ,I thought I had cured those problems by a system reset. But after a few deadends, an upgrade (which my pc would not acknowledge) to 2004 was suggested and a tutorial for doing it I found here in Ten Forums. So following this upgrade from 1909 to 2004 tutorial:
The Download started as described to a USB (after the first USB was deemed unusable with a message Win 10 failed to install update with error code 0x80073D02 and required a restart of whole process).
But when it came to running the media Creation tool for creating the USB with Win 10 I get a message "Unable to run the Media Creation Tool on your pc. Turn off or restart your pc and try again, reference Error code 0x800701 B1-0xA001B if problem continues. Then just before the pc begins the restart , I guess a translation? "The specified protocol is not supported" pops up. I'm stumped even more now. Is the MCT the protocol, or supported by what. Oddly enough each time I got these messages, and I start closing pages the next page the concluding words with "Finish" as the last step.

 

Media Creation Tool question

Hi, I have never had any problems using the Media Creation Tool to perform a Windows 10 clean installation until yesterday so I have a couple of questions.
1. The tutorial here says after going to the Microsoft site and selecting the Download Tool (Media Creation Tool) option that the Media Creation Tool should be save to the PC and run from there.
On Microsoft site the instructions are to Download the Tool and select Run (no saving to the PC). Is there a reason for saving it to the PC first as suggested on Tenforums?

2. Yesterday I used the Media Creation Tool to do a clean install. Everything went fine with the download. After the two hour download the Media Creation Tool automatically started to create the media. Everything working normally so far..then suddenly at 50% a screen popped up with an unexpected error message Error code beginning 0x80004005. That was it I had to stop there.
After searching the net it seems that other people have had the same issue after the Fall Creators Update...with the installation stopping at 50%. I have no idea how to sort this out. After contacting Microsoft Chat Support they didn't offer any suggestions that worked either.
Can anyone advise please
Many Thanks
