Hi Tom,

One immediate thought occurs to me: did you launch the ADK command prompt
using "Run as administrator" If not, try launching a new prompt with "Run
as administrator", change into to the C:\WinPE_x64\media directory, and
re-run the MakeWinPEMedia command as before, see if that clears up the
issue.

Regards,

Andy
