I'm facing issues installing or reinstalling W10 after formatting and cleaning the SSD. The installation file was downloaded from MS onto a clean USB drive, but whenever I try to boot from it to install W10 MemTest86, the process starts and runs without success. I can't access the W10 installation file. If the SSD is empty and only W10 is present on the thumb drive, why does MemTest86 keep running? How can I stop or delete this MemTest86? Also, where exactly is it located. Thank you for any help.

I didn't create the bootable installation myself.

Memtest is typically placed on a bootable USB drive. Have you connected that device? Did you unintentionally add memtest to the storage medium?
