Microsoft updates Media Creation Tool for Windows 11 USB installs

I'm experiencing an issue with the Microsoft Media Creation Tool for Windows 11 where the update process seems to be problematic. Despite multiple attempts, the tool either fails to complete the update or produces corrupted ISO files, making it difficult to create reliable bootable USB drives for Windows 11 installation.

    Make sure your current Windows installation is fully updated before creating a new media.
