I also know that this problem is fairly rare based on my search of the forum so I understand if you do not want to pursue this issue any further. I have a workaround using win32imagewriter so I don’t need to use etcher but I am willing to spend time doing any troubleshooting you may want. One thing, one of the times it failed windows gave me a blue screen with a watchdog timer error. Since everything else seems to work I would not call that poor driver support but there does seem to be an incompatibility between etcher and my system. Since I have reinstalled windows 10 version 19 (separate hds) yesterday and this morning I do not have any extra software installed other than that needed to test. That would seem to rule out a failing drive. Using windows 10 version 1909 I can successfully write a windows 10 image using rufus and I can successfully write a raspbian image using win32imagewriter using the same sd card in all cases. I went back to an older version of windows (1709) as well as etcher version 1.2 and had the same problems.

In searching the forum for past failures like mine I have found several without any real resolution and they are not current. I have tried both with an SD card slot and inserting the small SD card in a USB adapter. So while my laptop now works my desktop still hangs. Thinking I had found a solution I went to my desktop and went back to version 1.4.9 but it did not work. FYI: In addition to Win10 errors, Windows always asks me to allow this program to make changes and the program is some type of Windows command program that needs to run in order for Etcher to work and I got the blue screen of death the last 2 times I tried running it. Trying to find out which version caused the problem I progressively updated etcher until I reached 1.5.95 and it still worked even though it didn’t work before. After having Windows hang I went back to etcher version 1.4.9 and it worked. Most of my initial troubleshooting was done on the laptop. Around the same time I reinstalled Windows 10 on my desktop I also reinstalled it on my laptop. My Dell XPS 15 (9550) also had the same problem. I’m hesitant to add the following info but since I don’t know what may be important to you I’ll include it. I've tried double clicking on it and it won't run. It has not had a fresh load of windows in at least two years and is currently running version 1809. After downloading balenaEtcher to my Downloads directory and extracting it the program won't launch. I am able to run etcher on my wife’s laptop. As I stated earlier I re-installed Windows 10 about two months ago but that would have been 190x, then updated to 2004. I have been able to run etcher on this PC in the past but it was probably before windows 10 version 190x. And yes I was referring to the windows 10 version number. I haven’t updated my desktop in a few years. I just end up setting “run as administrator” in the compatibility settings on Windows so it asks right away and does what it needs to do.To answer your questions and provide a little more info… Granting administrative access to a specific sub-process within Etcher is a whole 'nother can of worms administratively.Įrgo, it doesn’t really matter, (IMHO), which end of Etcher gets the administrative access, just so long as it gets there. In the case were a person who does NOT have administrative access needs to flash SD cards or the like, a system administrator needs to come up with a way to allow Etcher to have admin access without granting it to the user - and there are ways of doing that. One that does NOT actually involve “etching” the media or accessing the media’s raw device node?) Would someone please explain to me a use-case for Etcher that does NOT ultimately require admin access? ( i.e. Since Etcher’s sole and entire purpose in life is to “etch”, (flash), SD cards and the like, and since accessing the raw device, (which is necessary to flash it), requires administrative privilege on every operating system I’ve ever used. Sounds reasonable, but it leaves me with one question: We don’t want Etcher to always request admin access before running
