Method 1: Format the Installation Media
To format the installation media, go toThis PC> Right-click on theUSB drive>Format>Start. Once done, try to install Windows onto the USB drive usingRufus or Belena Etcher, as they’re one of the best tools in the business.
To restart a Windows PC, go toStart>Power button>Restart. Your PC should soon reboot and then check by transferring files if the problem still exists.
In this case, you might want to re-download the installer or file once again. One of the easiest ways to check after the download’s complete if the file was fully and successfully downloaded is by comparing its size to the one on the website. If they match and the file or installer is still not opening, the file itself might be corrupt.
If that’s indeed the case, you might want to wait until the app developers push a non-corrupt installer or file for you to use. You can check the file size and compare it to the size on the website by right-clicking on theFile>Properties>Generaltab.
Restarting the app and initiating the download once again could essentially do the trick and install or run the app normally again. Again, there is a chance that the problem is not with your Windows PC but the downloaded files, and in that case, you’d have no choice but to wait for the app developers to push non-corrupt versions of the required files.
To check for updates on Windows, go toSettings>Windows Update>Check for updates. Tap Install if an update is available, and restart your Windows PC to apply the same.
