Ventoy Media Driver Missing: A Troublesome Error in Installing Windows 10 LTSC 2021

As a long-time lurker on this forum, I'm finally taking the plunge and posting my issue for help. I've been trying to install Windows 10 LTSC 2021 using Ventoy, but I keep running into the frustrating error 'ventoy media driver missing.' This is not the first time I've encountered this issue; in fact, I previously experienced it when downloading and installing an older version of Windows (LTSC 2019). However, I never had to deal with this error until now.

To troubleshoot this problem, I tried a few different approaches. First, I disconnected all USB devices except for the keyboard, mouse, and the USB stick containing the Windows ISO. This didn't seem to make a difference, so I then changed the USB port and clicked 'rescan' to see if that would resolve the issue. Unfortunately, it did not.

I also checked my BIOS settings to ensure that it had full USB initialization support. This seemed like a plausible solution, as I've encountered similar problems in the past where the BIOS was not properly configured. However, after verifying that this setting was enabled, I still received the 'ventoy media driver missing' error.

Since I no longer have access to a Windows system, I'm relying solely on Ventoy for my installation needs. To create a bootable USB stick, I used Rufus to burn the ISO to a FAT32-formatted drive. When I booted my PC from this USB stick, I was greeted by the aforementioned error.

In an effort to start fresh and redo my partition scheme, I used Gparted to erase my system disk and create a new GPT partition table with two NTFS partitions: one for the operating system itself and another for games, apps, and other files. This seemed like a straightforward process, but it appears that this step may have contributed to the 'ventoy media driver missing' error.

If anyone has encountered similar issues or can offer some insight into how to resolve this problem, I would greatly appreciate it. Is there something specific that I need to check or configure to get past this hurdle and successfully install Windows 10 LTSC 2021 using Ventoy?
