Now that the USB was connected, the device reached about 50% during the second stage, followed by a BSD.
Multiple partitions are typical during a Windows setup, particularly on branded devices. They serve as recovery options. The reason your installation isn’t working isn’t clear—have you altered the USB port or the USB drive? Did you switch the hard drive you were using? Was the failure consistent at one point or varied?
Tested SSD, 1TB HDD, and 3TB HDD; same issue on all devices. Switching to another USB now. Not a laptop—my custom desktop I built last week worked before. Installed Windows and everything was fine, but something broke or got corrupted. Tried a fresh install, but this keeps happening.
Used a different USB device and encountered the same issue: error 0x8007025D followed by a BSOD with the message "kernel security check failed."
