Problem being -
When creating a Recovery USB drive, the process would not complete with a vague error message,
'We can't create the Recovery Drive, A Problem occurred creating the Recovery drive'.
This was happening with USB 3.0 flash drive plugged into my USB 3 board. Come to find out, this did not happen when using the same flash drive, plugged in to the mother boards usb 2.0 port.
That is when I looked at driver version for the Renesas board, replaced the W10 driver & problem cleared.
