Didn't work. My OnHub Recovery Utility app installed on my Win 10 Chrome. That was fine. Because even after (2) USB drives, Neither will work, as the Writing stays at 0% for over 30 minutes for both. Can't be used. Why can't you have a Setup/EXE file for Windows? Frustrating how else can a recovery USB drive be created?!?!

Worked for me to "unbrick" mine exactly as documented.
