Error Code: 0x80072f76 0x20017. Windows media creation tool.

Anonymous

I've disabled the defender and other software for malware and virus protection and tried moving the executable to desktop and then launching it. I don't have an idea whats wrong with it! Any help is much appreciated.

I was able to solve it on a 2016 Lenovo laptop by disabling antivirus until next reboot and pointing my DNSs to Google Ones.

Hope this helps someone else as well.

You can either run setup from within running windows 10, you do not need this for upgrading from windows 7.

Or you can run setup from bootable DVD or USB with windows 7 or 10 and run setup, you can read about this in groovypost article on how to run clean install.

I think the media creation tools will downloads iso file version 10.0.16299.15, and if you upgrade using the windows update it will be updated to version 10.0.16299.19
