Update: I did not find a fix, but I did find a workaround that might help some users. I simply tried running everything on a separate computer. The second computer is running Windows 11 instead of 10. I’ll list what I have in case anyone is desperate enough to replicate my tools exactly. The setup on which I got everything work is as follows:
Kamuri Mini PC
Windows 11 Pro 24HS
16 GB of RAM (although I doubt that makes any difference)
The ISO is Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon 64bit
Belena Etcher 2.1.2-Setup
both files housed in C:/Windows/users/Scott/Downloads
loaded onto a 128 GB SanDisk flashdrive in a USB-2 slot
