This is actually not a Ubuntu issue. It is a Windows user problem. Download an ISO image in Windows. Use Rufus in Windows to write the ISO image to a USB memory stick but am unable to do so because of not knowing the default folder that Windows uses for downloads.
I cannot answer that. I have not use Windows since Win98.
Best to use Windows tools to create a bootable Windows flash drive or external drive from the ISO.
Windows now has a .wim file that is too large for FAT32 (over 4Gb). But FAT32 required for UEFI boot. Windows tools split the .wim file to make it work.
For Linux the easier way is to use Ventoy. And then you can boot multiple ISO. Ventoy has one partition as ESP - efi system partition FAT32 for booting and stores ISO in another partition that can support larger files.
