I would suggest you to check if there is any file in the USB flash drive because it has be to be empty and minimum space of 4GB. If there is any file in it, I would suggest you to save it and then format it. Start downloading the tool first and once downloaded, right click the tool and Run as Administrator.

Tried downloading both Windows 10 Pro versions to stick which says requires only 6GB and also tried just downloading x64 version which says requires 3GB.

Same error in each instance, "Something happened 0x - 0xA". i think the problem was, that my antivirus program blocks the autorun. inf on the usb device. So the files cant get copied to the usb device I got the same problem but with deactivating the autorun. inf from my antivirus pgm Avira it worked perfectly. I also tried the version with the ISO file with using the Rufus pgm and this option worked fine as well. For Rufus I used MBR partition.. for UEFI, FAT32, 16 KB and selected 2, 3 and the 4the option. I have tried 2 different 16GB USB flash drives. I have formatted and tried multiple times. I have run the tool directly to the USB, I have tried converting the ISO file to a USB, nothing works. I get error messages like this:"There was a problem running this tool.
