There doesn't seem to be a problem with the flash drive at all. I actually used a different one a few months ago and installs were also chaotic. I'm booting from the USB and formatting and deleting all partitions.

No, I haven't. Technically, a flash drive created using the MCT should be the cleanest method of installing Windows, but MS somehow manages to screw up anything along the way.

Once again, performing a clean install of Windows 11 has proven to be a complete nightmare... Basically, after months of Microsoft embedding the monthly cumulative updates onto the flash drive created using the MCT usually the following Thursday after Patch Tuesday, this month this wasn't the...

A most useful batch, but for now I'm curious as to why the MCT isn't pulling 8655. Is it still in experimental phase or that's the way it's gonna be? Because if it pulls 8653 and then installs 8655 it contradicts the official announcement.

So they're saying that the MCT will create the latest build image but still produces .8653 and not 8655? 🤷‍♂️

I also created a bootable flash drive using the MCT yesterday and it also grabbed .8653 and afterwards the June update was installed. It's a change of behavior since if the bootable flash drive was created Thursday after Patch Tuesday or after, it already included the update. This time at least...

That could be useful, thanks, but MCT is usually updated the next Thursday after Patch Tuesday. At least it's been that way for a year or so.

It's ridiculously frustrating how performing a clean install of Windows 11 (25H2) feels like playing roulette. It's a thrill, you never know what you'll get! It starts with the fact that if one uses a flash drive created with the Media Creation Tool, the menu where it says it's downloading...

After updating I'm also experiencing some graphics issue. After a reboot the browser opened up scaled down, really minuscule. Had to click the icon twice for it to go back to normal. First time something like that happened to me on Windows 11.

Thank you for your suggestion, garioch7. However, I feel like one shouldn't have to resort to 3rd party software to be able to use such basic Windows features. I wish Windows would definitely address this issue (I've sinced installed the February cumulative update and still nothing). Can't be...

Another round of cumulative updates that don't address the issue... I've installed the January cumulative update and now the preview of the February monthly cumulative update and nothing. Someone please keep me posted when/if Windows ever fixes this, please.

It's the same for me. Cumulative updates have made Win11 progressively worse in terms of DL/UP speeds. In March, IIRC, I was able to download at up to 80-90 MB/s. In August/September, right before 25H2, I wasn't able to get past 40-50. And nothing has improved since in that regard. And in terms...

I really appreciate the help. I haven't given this a try but I'm certain it could have an effect on the outcome of the ejections, but just like the apps recommended in the previous page, it's a step that shouldn't have to be taken to utilize such a basic Windows feature. I hope Microsoft takes...

Update: I had performed a clean install of 25H2 earlier this month on an older ASUS laptop model (8th gen processor) and it was working as intended. Yesterday, I decided to perform another clean install on the same laptop an it also started to give me the ''This device is currently in use...''...

I'm sorry to hear you're expericencing the same issue. It's really annoying when Windows starts acting up when we didn't give it any reasons to. In the meantime, I'd suggest using the Feedback Hub app to report the issue. The form takes like 2 minutes to fill out. Maybe Microsoft will take a...
