      But in all honesty it's very easy to make a bootable windows installer USB drive manually. Just make a primary bootable FAT32 partition on the USB drive and copy the files from the ISO onto it. Done.

      Yeah on windows I always do it manually because it's so fast. But I always use ntfs, never fat32.

      Isn't fat32 partition needed for UEFI bootable installer?

      I guess not, because I always specifically do fs=ntfs in disk part when I make one.

      Are you positive you're booting UEFI mode using that USB stick?

        @phlipelder Yeah I'm a fan of Rufus on windows but like the Fedora media writer on Fedora

        But Fedora Media Writer on Fedora can't write Windows media.

        I believe @JaredBusch had a post on this a while ago. Found it

            Not working for me. I tried two different USB drives. It is just booting to a grub menu. Unless I am supposed to launch something from here.

              I've had success using CLI instead.

              sudo umount /dev/sdb1
              sudo woeusb --tgt-fs NTFS --device Win10_1903_V1_English_x64.iso /dev/sdb

                  Same result

                    Not sure why but I'm getting this message using the CLI.

                    /usr/bin/woeusb: line 1676: echo: write error: Invalid argument
                    The command "exit 0" failed with exit status "1", program is prematurely aborted
                    

                    Instead of

                    Unmounting and removing "/media/woeusb_source_1559784507_8150"...
                    Unmounting and removing "/media/woeusb_target_1559784507_8150"...
                    You may now safely detach the target device
                    Done :)
                    The target device should be bootable now

                      @black3dynamite I've not seen that happen. This is every time?

                        It happened twice so far with the same USB.

                          Try another USB, maybe there is something wrong with that one?
