    Hi, I'm Bernard, a fellow Windows user. I'm happy to help!

    Certain regions are unable to download the Windows ISO from the website. The internet can also be a factor. Kindly try using a different network. However, if the issue persists, let us proceed to the normal method of troubleshooting by following the steps below:

    Reset Windows update components:

    Open Terminal (Admin) or Windows PowerShell(Admin) (Press Windows key + X then click Terminal(Admin))

    Copy each line of command, then press Enter (one line at a time)

    net stop bits
    net stop wuauserv
    net stop appidsvc
    net stop cryptsvc
    Del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\*.*"
    rmdir %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution /S /Q
    rmdir %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 /S /Q
    regsvr32.exe /s atl.dll
    regsvr32.exe /s urlmon.dll
    regsvr32.exe /s mshtml.dll
    netsh winsock reset
    netsh winsock reset proxy
    net start bits
    net start wuauserv
    net start appidsvc
    net start cryptsvc
    

    -Once done, restart the device and check.
