Ironically, while it seems that Russians can connect to a VPN server located outside of Russia to get around this restriction, the government has banned the use of fifteen different VPN services in order to prevent citizens from connecting to the internet without going through the Federal Government Information System. Microsoft has yet to make a statement confirming that this behavior is intentional, so we’ll have to see whether the company is purposefully blocking Russian users from downloading Windows installation tools. The error dialog says in Russian, “For some unknown reason, this tool failed to run on your computer.” All other download options displayed the error shown in the image above. We were able to download the Windows 11 installation media tool, but, the tool throws an error with the code 0x80072F8F-0x20000 when run. While connected to the Russian VPN server, clicking the download button for the Windows 11 Installation Assistant redirected us to a download page that displayed a 404 error. Once we switched back to a US-based IP address, we had no problem downloading these installers, even while using the Russian-language version of the website. Windows also included Remote Desktop which is an essential part of the system. Remote Assistance tool is still available in Windows 11. As its name suggests, it was supposed to be used for assisting people remotely. Not only were we unable to download Windows 10 and 11 installers, we were also unable to Windows 8.1, Windows 10 IoT Core, and the Media Feature Pack for Windows 10. Even before Quick Assist was introduced, Windows since the XP era included lesser known Remote Assistance tool. The latter parts of the installation may finish very fast, leading to the Windows 11 launch screen.We were able to confirm this finding by connecting to a VPN server located in Russia and attempting to download Windows from the Microsoft website. In any case, it’s nothing to worry about, as long as you keep your device plugged in. Only after that time did the needle start moving. My system was stuck at 0% for nearly an hour. It’s Microsoft’s dreaded “black screen of death,” which takes an unusually long time.
