Windows Media Creation Tool Running Problem Solved - "There was a problem running this tool"

Microsoft’s Media creation tool shows error message while trying to update my operating system.

media creation tool error message

I used media creation tool to update my windows 10 to fall creator version. Downloading of the new version of Windows 10 (fall creators update) works properly until I accidentally switch off the computer. After that incident, the media creation tool shows an error message ("There was a problem running this tool")  when I am trying to update my PC operating system.  How can I solve this issue?
