Windows 11/10 cannot be downloaded in Russia and Microsoft has not responded yet

There is a phenomenon that the ISO image files of Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems cannot be downloaded normally in Russia. Microsoft has not yet made a statement on this. On June 19, 2022, many media in Russia reported that the Windows 10 and Windows 11 system installers could not be downloaded normally in Russia.

It is reported that when users visit the official website of the Windows 10 system and try to download the image, they will be prompted “404 – File or directory not found”; if they visit the official website of the Windows 11 system and try to download the image, they will be prompted “Error: There is a problem with your request, if you need help please visit the Microsoft Support Interface”; and the Media Creation Tool program cannot be downloaded.

Of course, if the user downloads the system image from other channels, it can be installed normally, and the daily use (including logging in to the Microsoft account, activating, obtaining updates, etc.) is currently normal.

In March this year, the Russian authorities lifted the blockade of the pirated website RuTracker.org, where users can download cracked Windows, Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, Adobe and other office software, as well as Hollywood movies, TV shows, etc.
