    Hi there, welcome to the Microsoft Tech Community!

    Can you please tell from where did you download the tool, was it the Official media creation tool from Microsoft which was downloaded from https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows10 official website and what are your computer specs?

        Your problem does not seem to be with the media creation tool but with the execution of the application and I don't have a solution to that but I found an article about this problem whose link is as follows:

        I hope your problem gets solved as soon as possible :smile:
