This error "Failed to extract file from the WIM file." is usually caused by the following reasons:
1. The WIM file has been corrupted. In such case, we recommend that you redownload the Windows installation ISO and try again.
2. There is not enough power on the USB port for the USB drive to work. In such case, we recommend that you add an external power supply to the external hard drive or insert the external hard drive into another USB port and try again, or try WinToUSB on other computers.
3. WinToUSB does not have permissions to write registry or write the boot secotr of the external hard drive, this is usually caused by an anti-virus software, so please temporarily deactivate your anti-virus software or add our WinToUSB to the list of allowed applications (may be called Trusted Applications/Whitelisted applications) of your anti-virus software and try again.
