this gets asked at least once a week here. The issue isn’t with missing drivers, but with incorrectly created install media (or using a stripped ISO vs an official one).

I downloaded a windows 11 ISO file off the windows website, how can i fix this, ive been stuck here for almost a week. Maybe rufus could help?
I told you it’s a problem with how the media was created – there are proper and improper ways to do it. Do it the correct way – MS media tool or Rufus
