Hello,

I was downloading Windows 10 setup and accidentally midway during the download my kid closed the download setup. I thought i could redo the same again by clicking the media creation tool, but it constantly gives me error message "There is a problem starting setup. Close the tool, restart your PC and then try running tool again".

I have tried restarting the PC too but the error doesn't go. I am not able to upgrade my PC to windows 10 because of this.

Can  you please help? I have Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (64 bit system)

Winows

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Install and upgrade

    Hi, I also faced this issue. To solve it :

    1. Enable , show hidden system files.

    1.a) You will find two 'windows~' named folder in C:/ . One will contain a folder named 'panther', other one will have a large temp file(the iso).

    1. Reboot to safemode. Delete these folders.

    Reboot to normal mode. Start again.

    [**Worked for me. No 100% guarantee that it will work to everyone.]
