From my research, it seems that everyone is facing this issue, yet there is still no solution. I’m not sure what Microsoft is waiting for to fix this problem.
I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled it, but I keep encountering the same issue.
I have also changed the download location and tried different drivers, but the problem persists.
I have attempted to re-download it multiple times using different options, yet the issue remains!
This is the error log i am getting when trying to download it:
