Windows 10: ISO's and the Windows MediaCreationTool

My Windows version is V1903 OS Build 18362.476; at least reported by winver?

Windows Update V1909/KB4517245 trashed my system. Oh well.

I want to download an ISO so I can initiate a repair.

The problem is I need to know if the ISO I have is good.

I think its wonderful that Microsoft created the Windows MediaCreationTool to handle all that for me so I could have absolute confidence in the ISO it creates; however every time I run the MediaCreationTool it gives me a different ISO or at least a different CRC result?

The plan was to keep downloading the ISO using the MediaCreationTool until I had three ISO's with matching CRC's and then I would know I have a good copy! Eureka, its good!

The downside is I now have three possible bad copies of the ISO and it takes like 5 or more hours to download just one ISO.

I was wondering if anyone knows the correct CRC for V1909?

CRC's were invented by people, for people, so that people would know that they have a good transfer. They are a time saving feature that makes multiple downloads to validate data unnecessary and a thing of the pass.

The 1st MediaCreationTool transfer of the Windows.ISO has a CRC32: 476C2699.
The 2nd MediaCreationTool transfer of the Windows.ISO has a CRC32: D70C94CD.
The 3rd MediaCreationTool transfer of the Windows.ISO has a CRC32: CC89B98C.

I wonder if someone could tell me if one of the ISO's created by the MediaCreationTool1909 is good or not?
It could be that Microsoft re-releases the ISO daily and maybe that is why it changing daily?

I am currently running the MediaCreationTool1909.exe a 4th time but its only 30% complete; it takes like forever.

The MediaCreationTool1909.exe version is 10.0.18362.418.
