I have HP Pavilion All in One 23-b237c 64 bit that I wanted to update to Windows 10. In attempting numerous times I kept getting the same Error code: 0x80072F8F-0x2000 Microsoft support could not help. This computer was originally the Windows 8 and when I got it this week I installed all the available updates to Windows 8.1. After the updates it gave me a message to update to Windows 10 which I tried yet again to no avail. So Microsoft refunded my Windows 10 purchase. The windows 10 Media Creation Tool kept saying it did know what went wrong but it could be applied to my device. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The error 0x80072F8F - 0x20000 happens because the Media Creation Tool uses the TLS 1.2 Protocol, but the protocol is disabled by default on Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers. By default, only SSL3 and TLS1 are enabled in Windows 7 and Windows 8. On Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, SSL3, TLS1.0, TLS1.1, and TLS1.2 are enabled by default.

the only thing you can do is check for a updated bios, and hope that resolves the win 10 install compatibility issue and check that the latest drivers are installed from HP before trying again (backup personal files first!!)

you can download a free win 10 install ISO/USB key image directly from microsoft for testing it's limited in features until you supply the retail activation serial which can be bought from various sites online or directly from MS

I had a script that needed to run as an administrator but then run a single command in a non-elevated context. I was previously doing it with runas /trustlevel:0x20000 program.exe, but after updating Windows 11 to 22H2 the command now gives the following output (running Notepad here as an example):

This happens for any app I try, not just Notepad or the one in my script. I've also tried it in Powershell 7, Windows Powershell (5) and from the command line, but no difference. Runas itself isn't completely broken, as I can do runas /profile /env /user: notepad and it'll launch (after entering my password). I've also done an sfc /scannow just in case, but it's made no difference.

As BlueMonkMN answered the workaround with /machine:x86amd64armarm64 works. If you are on a 64bit intel machine and want to execute a batchfile there is no machine option that will work since cmd.exe is a 64 bit application. There is a 32bit version for cmd.exe at C:\Windows\sysWOW64\cmd.exe, so a command could be as follows:

The Windows Media Creation Tool prepares installation media for upgrading your PC or creating a USB drive to perform a clean Windows installation. It is the perfect tool to make sure you are using the latest Windows version and is quite easy to use.

Certain programs and processes on Windows operating system need administrative privileges to perform their jobs properly. If they are not allowed these extra permissions, you are likely to run into error codes such as this one.

So, the first thing that you need to do if you encounter the error code 0x80072f8f - 0x20000 upon attempting to use the Media Creation Tool is to launch the file as an administrator. If insufficient permissions are causing the problem, this should fix it without you having to go through any of the complex troubleshooting methods.

Often, faulty ports cause issues during the creation of the installation media. There are several ways to test if the USB port is faulty. You can begin by switching to another port and checking if the USB works fine there.

Windows Registry is an administrative-level, powerful utility that stores information about the programs and processes of your operating system. The information here is stored as keys and values. You can modify the relevant keys/values to customize the processes of your system, which is exactly what we are going to do in this method.

However, before you proceed with this method, we highly recommend creating a Registry backup. This will help you restore the current state of your system in case anything goes wrong during the process.

Another solution that worked for users was deleting the contents of the Software Distribution folder. This folder contains temporary files that might be interfering with the process of the Media Creation Tool.

Programs and processes on the Windows operating system require relevant services to be functioning to work. If any of the relevant services are disabled or corrupt, the program will fail to function.

The issue can also arise due to a driver or software conflict within the system. To check if this is the case, you can perform a clean boot to launch the system with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. If the issue does not appear in this mode, then it implies that a background process or driver is indeed causing the problem. You can then take necessary steps to remove it from the system.

If the error code 0x80072f8f - 0x20000 is not present after a clean boot, it suggests that the issue was caused by a software or driver conflict. If this situation is applicable, you can either manually remove the recently installed software that you think might be leading to the issue, or perform a system restore to return to an older functioning state of the system.

If you are using a third-party antivirus in Windows, there is a chance that it is blocking the process of Media Creation Tool because of a false alarm. To check if this is the case, you can disable or uninstall your antivirus and then run the Media Creation Tool.

Media Creation Tool is undoubtedly one of the most useful and easy-to-use tools offered by Microsoft for Windows. The troubleshooting methods listed above will hopefully allow you to use it without any issues. If the error appears again, you can reach out to the official Microsoft support team and report the problem to them. Hopefully, they will be able to identify the exact cause of the issue and suggest you a fix accordingly.
