"Failed hash verification" in Hyper-V Quick Create with Windows 10 dev environment

Using Hyper-V Quick Create, I selected "Windows 10 dev environment" and "Create Virtual machine". It spent 20 minutes or so downloading the 16GB image, but after "Verifying download" it popped up an error message "Failed hash verification". I tried a couple more times, including after rebooting, and got the same message.

I haven't found anything online about this problem. Is there any way to fix this? Alternatively, is there another way to get a simple Windows 10 image to run in Hyper-V?

    BenForbes, inside the .zip file is WinDev2007Eval.vhdx file. So you could DL the original file using this link ( https://download.microsoft.com/download/7/c/e/7ce1271d-04bb-4f0f-b1f4-e031bccb9712/WinDev2007Eval.HyperVGen2.zip ), using your DL manager or browser, extract it and use it as a Local installation source. Enjoy, John.

    Thanks John and Anne for the advice. I don't really need a particular Windows image, I am just trying to quickly test a development toolchain configuration on a fresh OS. If I were to use the Windows Media Creation center to create a fresh Windows 10 iso, would there be any licensing issues? I don't have a spare Windows 10 license to activate in the VM.

    Regards
    Ben
