I had the same problem with a 7th gen i5. It feels totally arbitrary when the machine runs great.

Can confirm. This happened to me too. I ended up using the official Media Creation Tool workaround and it installed without a hitch. Let me know if that works.

This. I had the same problem with my 7th gen i5. The registry edit bypass worked for me, but it's frustrating to have to jump through hoops.
