greetings, there are many who have problems with windows 10 media Tool, and i have found a solution that should work every time, so to you who have tried everything try this because it has worked for me every time, the only fix whas to start the media Tool as normal, an set the blank pause screensaver to start after 10 minutes, and leave the computer alone for 1 hour, and there you go it will Work then, dont ask me why, but it seems to Work when the computer is in pause mode when it is creating the Windows 10 usb install key ,

the one hour is because it takes time to download windows 10, and to be sure that the USB key is finish and good to go.

Hi
Try reformatting the USB drive. Open This PC, right click your USB drive and select Format. Select FAT32 as drive type and uncheck Quick Format option. Now try running the Media Creation Tool again and see if it worked out for you or not. Most probably it should because formatting your drive as FAT32 will give it a proper type and would any minor issues with the drive
