How can I create a macOS bootable usb on Windows 10?
I have encountered the same problem as you before, and I found many ways to solve it. In the end, I used UltraDMG. It can create a macOS bootable USB directly on Windows, and you don't need to do any complicated command line operations.
This tutorial helped me a lot:

Just prepare your macOS DMG file, insert the USB, open UltraDMG, select your DMG file and USB, and click a button. The interface is simple and the steps are very simple. I think it should be helpful to you.
Mayaui The above command will then erase the USB drive and create macOS bootable installer. This may take several minutes. The Terminal will display progress as it creates the bootable USB. Once it's done, you’ll see a message that the process is complete, and the USB drive will be ready to use.
How to Install macOS from Bootable USB Installer on Mac:
- Shut down the Mac you want to install macOS on.
- Insert the bootable USB drive into the Mac.
- Turn on the Mac and immediately press and hold the Option (⌥) key until you see the startup disk selection screen.
- Select the USB drive to boot from it.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to install macOS.
This is an indirect but efficient solution to make a macOS bootable USB on Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC. You need to be patient waiting for the progress to be done!
