    A fine workaround for fixing error with Win USB installer tool.

    I've had on going issues (numerous w10 versions) with USB recovery. Creates fine in w10, just never worked when needed after system failure. 😕

  4. IIRC, you can fix the permissions by configuring certain settings in Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc).
    Only problem is that gpedit is only available in Win 10 Pro. (For Win 7, you would need Pro or Ultimate, and I'm not sure about Win 8 or 8.1). AFAICR, gpedit is not available in any "Home" versions of Windows.
    I also seem to remember that there's a NirSoft utility that will remove zone information from downloaded files, (this removes the "Unblock" button in the file properties notebook). This only works for files that have already been downloaded.
    To remove zone information from all future downloads, you have to use the Group Policy Editor.
    I usually do that when I first install an OS, (it's "set and forget"), but there's lots of info to be found if you want to Google something like "remove zone information gpedit win 10," for example. I'd give step-by-step instructions for it, if I could remember them, but it's years since I last did it, and I've never had another blocked file since. Just Google it, and you'll find out how to do it.

  5. Please make a video: Photoshop 22.3.1 not detecting GPU (GPU unknown error performance pane) after windows update (radeon drivers). Googled it and adobe forums has similar cases. Searched YT a found related videos but no help using those. Tried to revert to PS 22.2 version but no detection. Tried latest drivers from AMD but no help (HP zbook laptop hybrid intel / Radeon pro WX 3100) . BTW Lightroom Classic detects radeon GPU just fine?

    There's no doubt in my mind that we are not only going bull, but BTCis going nuclear. A lot of people are wondering if now is a good time to buy because of where the price is at right now. I'd say it's outrightly wrong to just sit back hodl and wait maybe incur some losses along the line, that's a wrong mindset for an investor because as an investor finding ways to always increase and stack up more coins thereby making prof!ts should be the way of life, even experienced traders are in a doubt to take long or short position. I have been more skillful than lucky to be honest also thanks to Daniel wright who trained me as my initial investment was multiplied so much In two months. After getting in touch with Daniel wright an exp:ert in cryptography, who showed me how to use his program to make transactions and got 7 btc in 2 moths with him. if you are looking for a way to increase your portfolio or investment.

    The colored letter headlines are not easily readable. Not necessary to put frosting on everything.

    I still can't believe that Microsoft hasn't fixed their site giving you this option to download the ISO file without having to trick the website into believing you are running non-Windows OS.

    Good day Brian, Bill here from Canada. Is there any recommendations for backing up the laptop. I have it set up to backup automatically every day. The thing is that I only use it occasionally. A few times a week. Any suggestions on software that you think would benefit me to keep my laptop backed up other than the Windows included backup? Just need some direction on good backup software unless you think the Windows version is good enough. I hate researching software for hours only to be more confused than when I started. Love your educational videos. You are my go to computer tech. Thanks Bill2uok.

    Did you realise in Rufus you can switch from Select to Download and you have access to earlier Feature editions 1909 etc upto 20H2 which will download from Microsoft the ISO then switch to Select the ISO

  16. WelshTony1

    Nice tips, didn't know you could do that iPad thing. Now that is a better way in my opinion that the Creation tool way personally.

    Hi, many of your videos have helped me in the past and thank you for that. Keep them coming. My new system keeps cropping up with LiveKernalEvent 141 and 117 problem, causes games to crash.
    Can you please help me try and fix this?

  21. Jason Smith

    I have a better method than Media Tool (which can be behind). Waiting for 21H1.

  22. SOSTM

    always helpful thx britec

  23. Redsly

    Do you have any expirience with this iso file that you downloaded trough inspect element, saw the comment saying that is bugged version and can cause problems and thats why microsoft moved it into creation tool

  24. Paul Vollmer

    I can't use this Media Creation Tool because I keep getting asked for my Administrator Password. I wish there was some other way to find out on how to remove everything from my computer without having to provide an Administrator Password. Thus, the only thing I can do at this time, is take my computer back to the Computer Store that uploaded or downloaded Windows 10 Pro on my PC a couple of years ago, to see what the issue is internally.

  25. Aaron Allen

    If you are NOT using a computer with Windows 10 operating system to create the USB drive, right click on the downloaded tool and then select properties. Click on the Compatibility tab and then select the operating system of the computer that you are using to create the USB drive and then click the box to select it. It worked for me. Great video. Thanks 😃

  26. For those of you who don’t have a usb to download this on, or don’t want to go that route, I did the exact same this man shows up until the @2:39, once it downloads open it up and click on the last file which is no longer present on my pc but it was a “setup” file. Launch that, and it will go through the process of the media creation tool, but it won’t crash. Also I closed all other programs and let the pc do it’s thing.

  27. Amaan Khan

    can i install win 10 without usb drive? and will i lose data?

  28. Nick Taylor

    I hit F12 and nothing happens, I don't get the screen to the right like yours does.

  29. Herizon
