Hello

How can I verify the ISO file downloaded by media creation tool ?

Is there a checksum list on microsoft website?

thanks for your advice.

Edit:

I downloaded the iso file twice with this tool (at the same time) but the hashes of the files are not equal to each other.

    Hi majid tp

    With Windows 11, the ISO is a separate download from the Media Creation Downland when you download the ISO from the official website, there is a 'Verify your Download option with all the expected SHA26 Hashes, that is the only method they provide:

    Hello, thank you for your reply

    I know about that.

    But I'm looking for a way to verify the downloaded file with Media Creation Tool.

    for clarification:

    1. Why do I get a different hash every time I download windows?
    2. Why Microsoft has not provided a method for verify the downloaded file with Media Creation Tool?

    thank you for your advice

    I run into the same situation and have exactly the same questions - I downloadd the windows 11 ISO 4 times using the mediacreationtool.exe in 2 hours and each ISO file has different hash. I even mount these ISO file - inside the ISO, the biiggest file in side the ISo file is ources\install.esd This file is the actually windows 11 OS. But the hash of this install.esd in each download has different hash, and this is something confusing to me.

    I wonder whether you ever got a good answer to your question. Thanks.
