Download Windows 10 ISO


Ever want to download the ISO file for Windows 10 but keeps getting an error.

To download Windows 10, click on the link below and on Microsoft Webpage scroll down and click on "Download tool now". Click "Using the media creation tool" on how to use this tool.
Download the tool; once its downloaded the file name should be "Media Creation Tool".

ISO file is around 3GB so depending on your bandwidth it make take some time. If your bandwidth is not reliable use a browser that continue or resume the download, even though the connection was disconnected. Firefox supports this feature.

If the tool is executed at an elevated mode, you will receive an error like:


There was a problem running this tool

We're not sure what happened, but we're unable to run this tool on your PC. If you continue experiencing problems, reference the error code when contacting customer support, Error code: 0X800704DD - 0X90016.

See screen shot below:



The simple solution for this, is to log out from a user account with non-admin privileges.

Log in again with a Window user account with admin rights. Or simply login to an administrator account.

While logged in as "administrator" run the Media creation tool again and the Windows 10 ISO file should be downloaded without any issues.

So even if the media creation tool is being executed in an elevated mode there will be an error.

After downloading the Windows 10 ISO, it's better to logged out  and logged in again to an account without admin privileges for security purposes.

It's a good practice to browse the internet using an account without admin rights. But of course if something pops-up or the user account control window shows up. And asking you to enter admin password but you're not expecting anything. Do not think twice click "NO". It could be that you have downloaded or entered a malicious website. 

Cheers..hope it helps..keep life simple and you will be happier.

Print error 016-799 - Fuji Film Xerox

016-799 Fuji Xerox or Fuji Film print error code. That shows a description error as “Print instruction Fail detected in decomposer.” The error code and error description are alien languages for users and even system administrators who are not familiar with Fuji Xerox error code. The error code is quite simple and easy to fix, if the job print goes to the printer but print out doesn’t come out. So, basically the print job was received by the printer, but the printer just doesn’t know what type of paper or what size to use or which tray to utilize for the print out. In some instances, this is just a paper mismatch but the error description; if using Windows 10 to print does not exactly points to what is the issue. First thing to check, is the paper size selected by the user to print. Example, if the printer configuration is A3 and A4 sizes only. But then the person printing the file accidentally chooses “A4 Cover” then this error 016-799 will occur. ...
