What to do if Windows 11 media creation tool not working？
I have also encountered similar problems, especially the error code 0x80072f8f - 0x20000, which is really a headache. I tried many times at the time, using administrator privileges, changing networks, and even changing different USBs, but it always didn't work. In the end, I gave up using the tools that come with Windows and switched to WonderISO.
I used WonderISO to create a Windows 11 installation USB drive myself, and it was done in one go. The interface is simple and refreshing, and there is not much operation required. And it is not picky about USB drives, basically any USB drive can be successfully recognized.
I followed this guide (works for me)
