Windows media creation tool error 0x80004005 - 0xa001a[How to fix, alternate ways].

Today, while trying to create a bootable Windows 10 Fall Creators update ISO, the windows media creation tool crashed and produced an error code 0x80004005, 0xa001a.
I searched online and found another user had posted the same question on forums.

Here is the question asked by one of the user on MS forum.: 

Hi, Since the Fall update I have had nothing but problems with a bootable USB drive. Windows media creation tool returns an error 0x80004005 - 0xa001a, which the internet seems oblivious too and the windows 7 USB/DVD download tool creates a drive which is none bootable.

I spoke to microsoft who advised me to download the windows 10 ISO and use the windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create the media but it failed to boot.

I searched online for solutions as to why windows 7 USB/DVD download tool would not create a bootable USB drive from a windows 7 ISO and I was given directions to use Diskpart. This also failed.

So does anyone have any solutions to fix the 0x80004005 - 0xa001a error with the media creation tool.

I also tried both windows 7 and windows 10 USB Drive in 2 systems and neither would boot the windows install program.


Since, i had experienced the same problem, i decided to figure out the solution myself. So i found a simple solution that work in most cases.

So, what you need ?

Just download the ISO using browser, create a bootable USB and enjoy.
