Hi Mihai,
The reason you are seeing this error is not a random glitch but a deliberate enforcement mechanism. When you attempt to download a Windows ISO or initiate certain service requests, Microsoft validates the origin of the connection. If the request appears to come from a banned geography, or if the traffic is masked through a VPN, proxy, or anonymizer, the system rejects it with error 715-123130. This is consistent with Microsoft’s compliance requirements and is not something that can be bypassed through unofficial methods.
To resolve the issue, you need to ensure that your connection is direct and transparent. Disable any VPN clients, proxy configurations, or anonymizing browser extensions. If you are on a corporate network, confirm that outbound traffic is not being routed through a gateway that masks location. In some cases, even legitimate ISPs may use exit nodes that appear as restricted regions; if that is suspected, testing from a different network or contacting your ISP for clarification is recommended.
If you are certain that you are in a supported region and not using location-hiding technologies, yet the error persists, the next step is to escalate through Microsoft Support with the reference code provided in the error message. The support team can validate whether your IP range has been incorrectly flagged and, if necessary, whitelist or advise on remediation.
There is no registry key or local configuration that can override this behavior, as it is enforced server-side. Workarounds such as using the Media Creation Tool or Installation Assistant are not true fixes; they simply use different endpoints that may not enforce the same checks. The underlying cause remains the same: the service is rejecting masked or restricted connections.
I hope you've found something useful here. If it helps you get more insight into the issue, it's appreciated to accept the answer. Should you have more questions, feel free to leave a message. Have a nice day!
Harry.
