Windows development

If you're unable to download the Windows 11 ISO and are encountering messages indicating that some users are blocked, it may be due to several factors. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

1. Check for System Requirements: Ensure that your device meets the minimum system requirements for Windows 11, as this can sometimes affect download availability.
2. Verify Internet Connection: Make sure your internet connection is stable and not experiencing interruptions.
3. Clear Cache and Cookies: Besides deleting browser history, you may want to clear the cache and cookies in your browser settings to ensure there are no remnants causing issues.
4. Try a Different Browser: Sometimes, switching to a different web browser can help bypass issues related to specific browser settings or extensions.
5. Check Microsoft’s Service Status: Occasionally, Microsoft services may be down or experiencing issues. Check the Microsoft 365 Service Health Dashboard for any ongoing problems.
6. Use the Media Creation Tool: If the direct download isn't working, consider using the Windows Media Creation Tool, which can help you create a bootable USB or download the ISO directly.
7. Contact Microsoft Support: If none of the above steps work, reaching out to Microsoft Support may provide further assistance specific to your situation.

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot the issue and hopefully download the Windows 11 ISO successfully.

Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

This is typically a temporary issue that can arise for various reasons, including potential problems with your internet service provider (ISP).

See if the same behavior occurs in an InPrivate/Incognito window.

To open the InPrivate/Incognito window, open the browser and press "Ctrl + Shift + N". (For Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome)

If you still can't download the ISO, let me know in which language you need the ISO, and I will provide a direct link.

Feel free to ask back any questions.
