How to burn a Windows image from under Linux?

So the initial data: a 16 Gb flash drive, a fresh windows 10 image downloaded from the off site and installed linux mint.
At the output, you need to get a USB flash drive with Windows that can boot normally.
I tried:
unetbootin - I wrote it down, but when booting from a USB flash drive, something like a grub menu appears where something like "boot in 10 seconds" is written and tab to edit the line with kernel options. But after 10 seconds, the counter resets back to 10 seconds, and so on indefinitely.
winusb - at the end of the recording gave an error

mintsticks - recorded, but when loading from a flash drive, a black screen hangs and a flashing white cursor, there is nothing else and does not react to anything
dd - I wrote it down, but when I try to boot from a USB flash drive, the BIOS starts to squeak often and loudly, and also a black screen with a blinking white cursor
, I also tried to simply mount the image and copy all the files (cp) to a pre-formatted USB flash drive (fat32) - the same as with dd
This is where the options ended. :(
PS computer supports UEFI and GPT, but it doesn't matter to me whether MBR or GPT will be there. At least somehow it would be installed ...
upd. also checked:
etcher - black screen
winusb checked to boot after an error:
when loading uefi - black screen
when loading legacy - finally at least something - the windows logo appeared, but besides it, nothing else appeared.
PS I have a vague suspicion here: maybe my image is broken? Although I can’t imagine how this could be, because I downloaded from an off site, but I had a connection break (the laptop turned off) and then I downloaded. Although it seems like the download was picked up, but suddenly ... Nobody knows the checksums of the original images? To verify.
upd. They suggested a good idea to check: calculate the amount and google it. I immediately found a bunch of images with such an amount on torrents. So it's not broken. Then it's not at all clear what's going on. :(

The simplest option is winbootx .
For advanced and with UEFI you can do this .

This WinUsb error is not critical, booting from a flash drive is fine
