Microsoft website will not let me download ISO - banned?

Operating Systems & Open Source Windows

I have had issues downloading ISO from Microsoft website for a long time now, I usually end up only finding links that work for a “media creation tool” that won’t even run on any PC I have tried it on.

Use Rufus, you can download ISOs directly in the program and use it to make a bootable USB from that ISO in the program. This has been my way of getting a Windows ISO for the past few years, never had a problem with it so far.

A thought just occurred to me as well … turn off your browsers built in adblocker as well.

I just had an issue with youtube’s anti adblocker and vivaldi’s built in adblocker.

You don’t have a pihole on your network do ya?

In that case for clarification:

Germany, macOS, Firefox with active ublock origin and behind pfblockerNG on my router. Worked just fine.
