This worked. Re-downloaded the update and it installed it ok.

Tx for all the responses on my problem. Yes I did all the right things, tried this morning still nothing. Hippsie's question on what browser I was using (FF 54.0.1) got me to thinking, am I using the right tut link... yes...next was to try EDGE and just like it is supposed to do, it downloaded and shows in my download folder

What the heck is going on that did not allow FF (on 2 W10 machines and 1 W7 machine) to be able to do that? Test d/l files worked on ff, as expected. WAG, might be a filter or something in FF that blocks .bin files? don't think that is likely. TX again, now on to the iso creation.

That's great news!

Edge browser works insanely good in this build. Has never been this good for me.

I have Firefox set to ask where I want to save the file.

Also, you can search for the file if you know even part of the name.

When I could not find the file, ended up searching the entire C: for file name, parts of file name, size, date. Even asked Cortana

EDGE seems to be working better and better for me. Believe it or not, IE is the only browser that will allow me to view my security cameras.

In one of your previous post's about TV browsers, 2 of mine has a very klunky "browser" that you have to push the up/down arrow on your remote to select a letter on the screen to search for something, PITB sort of.

Well, here goes . . . I'm going to make Edge my default, remove all of its bookmarks and try to add my Firefox ones to it. Then we'll see how it goes.

On my little lappy 2 in 1, MS changes the background pic quite often. (I consented to it) Some of the pic's are pretty nice and would like to save some, is there a location they are stored in.?

Try looking in:

C:\Users\[YOUR USER NAME]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets

All the files there are JPG files, but they lack the extension. The biggest files are the ones you are looking for.

Another folder where you find some of the pictures is:
C:\Windows\Web\Screen

Actually the whole C:\Windows\Web folder contains all images I recognize from my lock screen.

C:\Users\*vpce\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets
Copy the files to another folder and then change the extension to .jpg with CMD, In some cases I've noticed "strange behaviors" on Spotlight after copying those files, so what I do is create a restore point before modifying that folder, Another alternative is to use this option in Winaero Tweaker, but sometimes it does not work well:
