Hi Tom, One immediate thought occurs to me: did you launch the ADK command prompt using "Run as administrator" If not, try launching a new prompt with "Run as administrator", change into to the C:\WinPE_x64\media directory, and re-run the MakeWinPEMedia command as before, see if that clears up the issue.
