Windows 11 Media Creation Tool: Back in Action and Ready to Rock!

Good news for Windows tinkerers! The Windows 11 Media Creation Tool is back in action after a brief hiatus, thanks to the KB5067036 update. No more mysterious tool vanishing acts or cryptic error messages. Now you can create bootable media without resorting to ancient rituals or switching to an AMD64 system.

Hot Take:

Oh, Microsoft, the master of unintentional suspense! Just when we thought the Media Creation Tool was headed for a permanent vacation, it’s back from its brief hiatus—stronger, faster, and less error-prone (hopefully). Now, if only the Windows Update team could take a page from its script!

Key Points:

  • Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool (MCT) is back on track for Windows 10 and 11.
  • The tool had previously crashed or displayed errors following the Windows 11 2025 Update.
  • Users were advised to download the ISO file directly as a workaround.
  • The KB5067036 update not only fixed MCT but also improved the Start Menu and Administrator Protection.
  • Microsoft updates since August 2025 may cause issues due to new SID security checks.
