Windows 10: Media creation tool hangs downloading Windows 10, Progress 0%

I'm trying to create a bootable USB to install Windows 10 on a new drive. I've downloaded the media creation tool, and I'm running the program as admin, but it still hangs at"Downloading Windows 10, Progress 0%"


There are lots of references to this problem, but I can't seem to find a solution that works for me.


I tried:

• Right clicking to run as admin within admin account
• Running services.msc to check that Windows Firewall and Update are indeed set to automatic and currently running.
• Double checked that my thumb drive is empty and configured as FAT32
• Uninstalled antivirus and other extraneous software
