Create bootable Windows 10/11 USB drive on Mac OS

Creating a universal bootable Windows Installation USB drive on Mac OS is straightforward. The only pitfall is you have to format your drive as FAT32 to maximize compatibility, but then you have to split your .WIM file to smaller chunks than 4GB so that it does not get corrupted. Fear not, I will guide you through the process. Big thanks to this comment by m13253 for most of the heavy-lifting of this Gist.

Here are the steps (assume your FAT32 formatted USB drive is mounted on /Volumes/USB and your ISO is named something like Win10_1903_V1_Germal_x64.iso):

❗Preparation:❗ Format your USB drive as FAT32 using Disk Utility on Mac OS!

Fix Bluetooth missing in Windows 10 - Unknown USB Device (device descriptor request failed), Intel® Dualband-Wireless-AC 7260

I've had this error with an old Intel® Dualband-Wireless-AC 7260 card on a Z97 chipset (specifically on a GIGABYTE GA-Z97N-Gaming 5 (rev. 1.0))

After a Windows 10 Update, Bluetooth went completely missing and instead I've had a "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)" error in device manager.

I've stumpled upon this video and it (almost!) did not solve my problem, until I've read the youtube comments and I took a few extra steps.

What finally solved it for me, was using these steps:

Docker: "Cannot start service monitor: hcsshim" solution

If you are running docker in Bootcamp on an Intel-based Macbook, what this error is trying to tell you is that Virtualization features are not enabled. To enable Virtualization features inside Windows 10 in Bootcamp:

1. Boot into Mac OS. Virtualization is automatically enabled if you boot up Mac OS.
2. From there reboot into Windows without turning the Machine off.

Virtualization features will now also be available in Windows 10 and docker should work again.
