Hello. I need to repair windows 10 on a computer because I believe some windows program files got corrupted or something like it because some features are not working. I want to repair windows using a USB and the latest update this computer has (or latest feature update) is Windows 10 21H1 build 19043.1586 2022-03-08. Is there a way i can find the media creation tool for that specific build because the media creation tool I've found (downloaded back in year 2021) doesn't specify which build it is, or does it not matter as long as it is still 21H1?

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows update

    Hi, I'm Robinson, and I’m happy to help you today.

    I know how frustrating this may be for you but I'll do my very best to help you.

    The Media Creation Tool always downloads the latest Windows ISO. If you don't have a specific reason to need the Windows version 21H1 you can use the Media Creation Tool to perform the repair upgrade and update to the latest version of Windows without the need to create a USB bootable.

    1-Download the media creation tool.

    https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691209

    2-Run the tool and select 'Upgrade this pc now'

    3-Select the option 'Keep all my files and apps'

    4-Then click to update.

    This procedure will repair all Windows files and apps.

    If you need the specific version 21H1 you can use this site to download the ISO 21H1.

    These assumptions are telling me you haven't tried using the tool in Windows 7 or Windows 8 lately.

    The Media Creation Tool has a new prerequisite called TLS 1.2 protocol. See KB3140245:

    https://support.microsoft.com/help/3140245

    The Media Creation Tool has stopped running by default in Windows 7 and 8 due to them not having TLS 1.2 enabled by default.

    I double click MediaCreationTool22H2.exe.

    Enable the TLS 1.2 protocol.

    I thank you so much for your guidance with my problem and for linking the website I was looking for.

    Basically, the only reason I've been looking for the 21H1 version of Windows is that the computer doesn't have much free space for a proper upgrade, I tried to merge partitions because the other drives are mostly empty but instead I damaged some windows related files that's why I'm trying to use the ISO of the same version to repair it. I'll try updating it sometime later.
