So, yes the .NET is above 4.0. Defender (just using Microsoft stuff) had been disabled. Everything else seemed to install OK.
BUT - I just did a new refresh operation to start Windows clean again, installed Creator as the very first thing, it went fine. Apparently this was a gift from Microsoft, I will be so glad to finish this and get back to Linux.
Also, got my old account back so this is the same person, I just had to create a new account to post this as my old account was connected to a previous, and now defunct, employer's email.
