Microsoft’s Windows 11 Media Creation Tool Hits a Glitch: Windows 10 Users Left Hanging

The Windows 11 Media Creation Tool just can’t catch a break! Now, it doesn’t work on Windows 10 22H2, leaving users puzzled and the tool closing faster than a shop on Black Friday. Microsoft is on it, promising a fix soon, but for now, grab your ISO files directly from their site.

Hot Take:

Oh Microsoft, breaking things so you have a reason to fix them later! It’s like a game of ‘Will It Work?’ every time we open a tool. Forget “Windows as a Service”, it’s more like “Windows as a Circus Act” where the trapeze artist is constantly dropping their partner, but we keep buying tickets anyway because, well, who doesn’t love a bit of drama with their updates?

Key Points:

  • Windows 11 Media Creation Tool (MCT) version 26100.6584 is having performance issues on Windows 10 22H2 systems.
  • Microsoft suggests downloading an ISO directly from their site as a workaround.
  • The tool is currently not supported on Windows 10 PCs with ARM64 processors.
  • Windows 11 25H2 has been rolled out as a minor update.
  • DRM-related issues are still causing some chaos post-update.
