Windows 11 Media Creation Tool Fails on Windows 10

⚠️ Microsoft says the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool (MCT) version 26100.6584 released on September 29, 2025, may close unexpectedly on Windows 10 22H2 devices without showing an error. The company is working on a fix and recommends downloading a Disk Image (ISO) for x64 systems as a temporary workaround. Microsoft also notes the MCT is not supported on Windows 10 ARM64 machines, following earlier ARM64 compatibility problems after the Windows 11 25H2 rollout.

Microsoft Media Creation Tool Fails on Windows 11 ARM64

⚠️ Microsoft has confirmed that the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool (version 26100.6584), released on September 29, 2025, may not run on devices with Arm64 processors after the Windows 11 25H2 rollout. Affected users report an error that reads, "We're not sure what happened, but we're unable to run this tool on your PC," blocking creation of bootable installation media. Microsoft says the tool does not support creating media for Arm64 devices and that the normally available ability for Arm64 systems to produce x64 media is also failing. As a temporary workaround, Microsoft recommends using a PC with an AMD64 processor to create installation media while it investigates and prepares a fix.
