Why does my PC Freeze when booting to Windows USB?
So, I am trying to install a fresh clean copy of Windows. I just created the Media Tool on a 16GB USB Drive. It just freezes at the Republic of Gamers logo.

rebuild the usb after running chkdisk on it .
Try a different usb port (seems to work best on a 2.0 port)
hmmmm try downloading the iso and rebuilding with with rufus.
You may have reset the bios to boot from usb first
What version of Windows 10 are you on now and what version is the USB drive you are trying to install?
Run winver from a run box for your current version. What is on the USB you should know since you downloaded it. If not, you can run the following from a Command Prompt against the USB drive.
1. Plug the USB drive in, note the drive letter assigned to it:
2. Open a Command Prompt.
3. Run
dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:X:\sources\install.esd /index:1
OR
dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:X:\sources\install.wim /index:1
Replace X with the drive letter of the USB drive.
You may want to try this method for creating a bootable thumb drive. This method works for me on everything I have ever tried (BIOS, UEFI, 32-bit, 64-bit).
Create bootable USB installer if install.wim is greater than 4GB
