    Media Creation Tool error code: 0x9031004a - 0xa001b. Help?


    Hi, so I recently contacted Microsoft support which is terrible btw, anyways they like sent me 5 different links which none of them worked.


    This error message is: "There was a problem running this tool" Code: 0x9031004a - 0xa001b

    If I could get any English explanation of this code, that would be great, or if I just get this fixed that would be even better.


    I already had a USB with win10 on it, but it somehow by me ofc got formatted. Then I wanted to download win10 again on the same USB with 16GB, but then instead of it working smoothly, I spent all day long trying to get this error fixed. Though, it didn't get fixed. So basically I just want to reset my whole pc to install win10 again, but not through the startup repair or other stuff. Just through a USB. I tried downloading the .iso file it worked, I tried burning it to Rufus, it didn't work... I tried several different flash drives, and then I just gave up.


    Any help is appreciated!

    :)

    Media Creation Tool v1903 Error 0x80042405-0xA001B

    You can confirm that the usb is not gpt using Diskpart. The command LIST DISK will have a * in the gpt column for any disk or usb that is gpt,

    Windows Media Creation Tool Error

    I'm trying to install Windows 10 Media Creation Tool onto my 16GB flash drive. The download finishes and it moves onto the step of verifying the download. At around the 60% mark it pops up with an error message saying

    "There was a problem running this tool

    We are not sure what happened but we are unable to run this tool on your pc, if you continue experiencing problems reference the error code when contacting customer support 0x800701B1 - 0xA001B"

    I've ran the media creation tool 3 times now and the same error message pops up.
