Trying to download windows 10 on my USB but wont.

windows media creation tool wont download windows 10 on my USB. My computer also randomly started malfunctioning i guess. a month or 2 ago i randomly could not right click and open properties on ANYTHING whatsoever. Slowly things got a little worse and i couldnt open a couple games on steam no matter if i deleted the files and reinstalled. Then today not a single windows program would run besides powershell and command prompt. I couldnt even go to my settings to possibly update my computer or make windows factory default. I turned it off for a bit and went to go back on and it wouldnt boot. system restore popped up and nothing worked. i also did chkdsk in command prompt and got an error and would not finish nor did it fix any of my problems. so i go to download windows 10 on my USB and OF COURSE it wouldnt download. I dont know what else to do.

what do you mean by download? Sometimes people use that word to mean install instead of just downloading the ISO

Are you using the Windows 10 media creation tool to create a USB Installer?
If so, are you using that USB to try to boot PC?

what isn't working? Did you change boot order in BIOS so that it knows to look for the USB at start up?

I am just trying to download windows 10 onto my USB.
I go into Windows 10 media creation tool, click the create installation media radio button, click USB, click download the i get the error and it wont download. ( Error code: 0x80072EE70 - 0x90017) i just want to simply download this to fix my PC but of course it isnt as simple as that. at least not yet.

when i got to download Windows 10 media creation tool from the actual website, i get a "Site cannot be reached error" i forgot about that. so i downloaded it from a 3rd party. it seemed like the same exact thing tho.

http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/F/E/1FE453BE-89E0-4B6D-8FF8-35B8FA35EC3F/MediaCreationTool.exe

Thats the link i get when i click on download Windows 10 media creation tool on their website. and it does not work for me.

Try downloading it on another PC maybe? The link you gave me works fine here...

0x80072EE70 is a windows update error so it would seem the service is broken on your PC. Also might help to run an anti virus scan as many results for that number are for virus removal

you can try this to fix windows update with
open command prompt {admin}
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its completed, copy/paste this command into same window:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and press enter
SFC fixes system files, DISM cleans image files, re run SFC if it failed to fix all files and restart PC
