Cannot create flash drive?!

Guys,

I am trying to create an Ubuntu 21.10 flash drive in Windows 11. I have tried Rufus, an old version of Rufus, Poweriso and balenaEtcher. They all fail! Kubuntu works and when I try a Windows ISO that also works. I have checked the ISO hash, it is correct. This is bugging me!

Anyone else with these problems?

Cheers

My guess is a bad USB stick. Try another and see if that works.

Tried a couple already. And like I said, they work fine with other ISO's.

Windows 11 is fairly new isn't it? Do you have to use Windows? The dd command in Linux is pretty straight forward, quick, and reliable. I am assuming that you have access to some type of Linux system.
