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.

Change your network properties to use goolgle DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). It worked for me.

Here's a nice tutorial on how to do it:

I also changed IPv6 DNS servers to the google ones, but I think changing jsut the IPv4 ones solves this issue.

I hope it also works for you.
